C7: Arduino Basics & I/O with Tinkercad Circuits

Aim:
 To use Arduino to control an output device like an LED or buzzer.

Requirements:

  • Tinkercad account

  • Arduino Uno

  • Breadboard

  • 1 LED (or a buzzer)

  • 220Ω resistor (for LED)

  • Jumper wires

Steps:

  1. Open Tinkercad and create a new circuit.

  2. Drag Arduino Uno and a breadboard onto the canvas.

  3. Connect the LED’s anode (+) to digital pin 13 through a 220Ω resistor. Connect the cathode (–) to GND.

    • For buzzer: Connect one leg to pin 9, the other to GND.

  4. Use Code Blocks to create a program:

    • Turn LED ON → Wait 1 second → Turn LED OFF → Wait 1 second (Repeat).

  5. Click Start Simulation to watch the output device in action.

  6. Try changing the delay time to make it blink faster or slower.
