0:00 intro
0:35 make sure your circuit has power
0:47 check for open circuits
1:34 make sure you're using the right Arduino pins
1:57 check if components are backwards (polarity)
2:45 check for broken components
3:34 check for damaged I/O pins
4:01 check for short circuits
4:36 check for loose wires

Thanks for these videos, I was looking for some basic stuff to teach a kid how to use an Arduino, my girl friend found an Arduino kit in her house someone had given her son but the manual was in German (and they can't read that) and neither of them had any idea what it was and I haven't messed with an Arduino in maybe a decade but I still want to help teach her son and this seems like the perfect level for a newcomer.

make sure to unplug your arduino from power before tweaking with the breadboard

i bought this arduno uno circuit and i built this

I have an Elegoo because I had no idea what I was buying, and the pins on the board do not hold a wire very good at all. It's very loose on most of them.
