Arduino code

Here is the code for your first Arduino program:

/* Blinking LED
* ------------
*
* turns on and off a light emitting diode(LED) connected to a digital 
* pin, in intervals of 2 seconds. Ideally we use pin 13 on the Arduino
* board because it has a resistor attached to it, needing only an LED

*/

int ledPin = 13;                 // LED connected to digital pin 13

void setup()
{
 pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);      // sets the digital pin as output
}

void loop()
{
 digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);   // sets the LED on
 delay(1000);                  // waits for a second
 digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);    // sets the LED off
 delay(1000);                  // waits for a second
}

Hello there

This is a first test post to see how easy this all is. This is a piece by Olafur Eliasson called Your Light House.
