Step 7 Select the desired programming mode.
You entered an Adventure Island where everything runs on student-made inventions.
Which device would you like to be present there and how would it make life easier on
the island?

IDE OF ARDUINO

The Arduino Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is a software platform where you can
write, edit and upload code to an Arduino board. It helps you control electronic components like
lights, motors and sensors. The IDE checks for errors and allows you to upload code via USB. It also
provides helpful error messages to guide you in fixing issues, making it easier to organise, test and You can modify the code as per your requirements. Use the BLOCKS + TEXT coding for better
control your projects.
understanding of the program. The on start and forever blocks are already present in the code
editor by default. Now, let’s focus on understanding the programming.
WORKING OF ARDUINO IDE
Block based programming:
You can understand how Arduino works through this example of blinking an LED, which
demonstrates how it processes and interacts with electronic components. The Arduino allows you
to control electronic components like LEDs by programming it with either block or text coding.
In this circuit, the Arduino UNO is placed on the workspace with the breadboard next to it.
The LED and resistor are then positioned on the breadboard.
To make an LED blink using an Arduino, follow the given steps:

Step 1 Connect one leg of the resistor to the anode of the LED.
Step 2 Connect the other leg of the resistor to Digital I/O Pin 13 on the Arduino UNO using a
jumper wire.

Step 3 Connect the cathode of the LED to the negative rail on the breadboard using a
jumper wire.
Step 4 Connect the GND pin on the Arduino UNO to the negative rail of the breadboard

using a jumper wire.

Step 8 Drag and place the set pin 13 to HIGH block from the Output section inside the forever
block. This will turn the LED on.

Step 9 Drag and place the wait 10 secs block from the Control section directly under the set
pin 13 to HIGH block. You can modify the time and adjust the duration as per your
requirement.

Step 10 Drag and place the set pin 13 to LOW block under the wait 10 secs block. This will turn
off the LED.
Step 5 Click the Code button to open the code editor. Step 11 Drag and place the wait 2 secs block under the set pin 13 to LOW block. This delay will
Step 6 Click on the EDIT MODE dropdown button. be applied before the LED turns back on.
