- 4. An electronic circuitincludes resistors – reduce current flow transistors –amplify and switch electronic signals capacitors - store energy inductors – resist changes in current diodes – a one way valve for electricity … and they are all connected by conductive wires or traces through which electricity current can flow.

Sketches are the logic behind Arduino projects) • Networking requires an add-on “shield” Arduino

- 23. Arduino Sketch /* Blink Turns onan LED on for one second, then off for one second, repeatedly. Most Arduinos have an on-board LED you can control. On the Uno and Leonardo, it is attached to digital pin 13. If you're unsure what pin the on-board LED is connected to on your Arduino model, check the documentation at http://arduino.cc. This example code is in the public domain. modified 8 May 2014 by Scott Fitzgerald */ // the setup function runs once when you press reset or power the board void setup() { // initialize digital pin 13 as an output. pinMode(13, OUTPUT); } // the loop function runs over and over again forever void loop() { digitalWrite(13, HIGH); // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level) delay(1000); // wait for a second digitalWrite(13, LOW); // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW delay(1000); // wait for a second } More info: http://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/Sketch
