Overview
In this article, we go over a simple blink program using the Arduino Micro. This is the same as the Hello World Arduino Micro circuit, but with the Arduino controlling the voltage of the circuit to make it blink.
In the simple Hello World example, we wanted a constant source of potential, 5 volts, to keep the LED light continuously lit. Now, we want to control the voltage so that we can shut the light on and off. The program we load onto the Arduino microcontroller will allow us to create a logical program to control the voltage.
The Circuit
The circuit for our blink program is almost exactly the same as for the Hello World program, except now we plug it into a numbered pin on the Arduino board:
