Wire an LED to Arduino

“

- All right. So I'm going to use the breadboard now to help me with the connection. The very first thing that is pin eight is actually to providing the source. So I start with pin eight and I'll put it in the breadboard to start with. So I'm going to connect pin eight to one side of the resistor. The resistance I'm using is 330 ohms. So in order to keep the connection, I'm going to use the same line where the blue wire is connected to. So here's what I'm going to connect this out when outside of the resistor here. And then the other side, I'll move it to the other section of the breadboard somewhere here for example. You really need to make sure that you are in the same row in order to make the connection. Okay. So now I'm going to connect the other side of the resistor to LED. I'm going to connect it to the anode side which is the longer side of the LED. And then the connection needs to be in…
