• I noticed that when generating LED
digitalWrite(REDPIN,LOW); lights with the Arduino Uno, the wire
must be connected into the right digital

digitalWrite(GREENPIN,HIGH); • I also discovered that when I input a code
like pinMode, it must be orange; if it is
delay(500); not a different color, something is wrong
with the code.
• I've also learnt to explore with different
} code, and it's enjoyable when you're
finished.
