Pin 13 of the Arduino has a built in resistor, which is why we used that specific pin for the LED.

I appreciate the feedback. I always have to change up my topics to keep everyone interested. So since there's been a huge outcry for arduino videos, that's the topic of these next couple videos. Then I'll do a coding one, a hacking one, probably another hardware one, etc. If you don't like Arduino stuff, wait a week or two until I jump to the next topic. That's the way I've always done it.

Your exactly right. When making the animations, I used a resistance color-code generator and mistyped the amount. I used 10k when doing the project, just gave the wrong colors for the animation. I tried to fix it though. Thanks for the catch!

Hi.
Since you use an active low button, i would recommend you throw away the resistor, define the pin as an input, and then digital write the inputpin HIGH. This will turn on the internal pullup resistors, and will allow for less components :)

you put the breadboard in the middle of the sandwich. The bread goes on the outside goofball! Thanks for the videos man everything you post is awesome and helpful :)

i always let the ads run on this channel. nice tutorials .

Makemagazine made me hate Arduino... I like doing leccy stuff with the most basic stuff to hand and for as cheap as possible.... This video is so much an improvement btw!!! Much approval :D

Gigafide,
Thank you for doing this type of video: I enjoy the step by step information. It is definitely very helpful and enjoyable.

Thanks Again! :)

[Tinkernut]

it's free breadboarding software called fritzing

[TechGatorBlog]

that was the perfect video setup! Thanks Gigafide!

Switches like that can be plugged into a white board in 4 different positions... I'm pretty sure it won't work in 2 of those 4 positions. There are also different pinouts on different switches... they can be wired different ways inside the switch. It might be better to just use a wire from the Arduino input pin, and hook that wire to the power or ground manually... making a "switch" from the wire. That would eliminate any possible problems with the switch, and remove the need for the whiteboard.

why my 1602 lcd display doesn't work? i did the wiring correctly and I used a correct programme from example in IDE but in vain it shows black squares or somtimes some symboles like <????<-

[JamesBalazs]

@jadog881 It's easy, just put the soldering iron to the wires you are soldering for ten seconds, then apply solder to the wire with the iron still held on.

Arduino this and arduino that.... Arduino's are everywhere!!!

@gigafide

i really love the arduino's =)
maybe you need to do something with serial communication and rgb leds =)
(move your mouse and change the colour of the rgb )

just 1 question why don't you use a resistor in serie with your led's beceause you really send to much current to the led's (or am i wrong?)

[DoombrekerPlus]

My 10k ohm resistor has other colours, is this normal?

[LyrockishKrish]

instead of making a var called buttonstate can we put if digtalread(buttonPin)==HIGH and the same for low? i know making the variable would be better but just wondering

[TheCarWashChannel]

I'm getting this:
buttonPin was not declared in this scope.

hey do you still do you tinkernut live on your website
