12 led chaser using Arduino Uno (7 Effect).
Mr.ElectroUino Sunday, May 26, 2019
In this blog, I have to show you dancing led using Arduino Uno. Using 12 LEDs to create a
decorative lighting effect.
1. To build led chaser we need a breadboard to create a connection between a component.
2. we need 12 resistors of 220 ohms each and 12 LEDs of the same color or a different color.
3. Attach all LEDs to the breadboard in parallel form.
4. After the led is attached, now connect the resistor to the positive pin of all LEDs.
5. Now connect the end of the resistors to pin 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11,12, 13 of the Arduino using a
jumper wire.
6. Connect the negative pin of all LEDs to the GND pin of Arduino using a jumper wire.
7. Now the circuit is ready to upload the code through Arduino Uno.
Your LED chaser is ready.....enjoy it......😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Components Required:-
v 1 × Arduino board.
v 1 × Breadboard.
v 12 × 5mm Led.
v 12 × Resistor (220Ω).
v 12 × Jumper wires (M).
