Arduino Tutorials: Arduino Knight Rider LED Strip Code

In this video of our Arduino tutorials and Arduino projects playlist, we'll design the KITT light effect from the legendary 80s series Knight Rider as an example for a for loop.

Welcome to our video on the Ruby Robot education platform!

Here's a basic outline of how you can create an Arduino circuit for a 6-LED strobe light effect,commonly known as "KITT":

Materials Needed:
1 Arduino Uno R3 board
6 LEDs
6 220-ohm resistors
Breadboard and jumper wires

Steps:

1) Set Up Your Arduino: Connect your Arduino Uno to your computer using a USB cable.

2) Place the LEDs: Insert the LEDs into the breadboard. Connect the anode (long leg) of each LED to digital pins 0 to 5 on the Arduino using jumper wires. Connect the cathode (short leg) of each LED to the ground (GND) rail on the breadboard using 220-ohm resistors.

3) Write the Arduino Code

4) Upload the Code: Open the Arduino IDE, copy and paste the code into a new sketch, and upload it to your Arduino board.

5) Test the Circuit: Once uploaded, you should see your LEDs flashing in sequence, creating the KITT effect.

Remember to adjust the delay time in the code to change the speed of the strobe effect according to your preference.
