First Project, setting up Arduino Software and Hardware, and making an orange light blink!

 Did my first project for IGME 470! This was a basic introduction to the tool setup for the Arduino physical and digital components. We went through the basic parts that came with the Arduino starter kit, put it together, installed the Arduino IDE on my computer, and than ran a simple code that flashed a light.

Getting to know my tools! My first Arduino project, working with Resistors, Switches, and LED's

 This was my first project working with the basic tools the Arduino provides. It was broken into three parts:  - Setting up a basic switch to turn on the LED  - Setting up a parallel circuit switch to turn on the LED  - Setting up a series circuit switch to turn on the LED BASIC SWITCH: This was the easiest of the three to complete, but came with its difficulties and realizations. I have now realized that when I put my breadboard onto the Arduino stand, I glued it on backwards, so I will have to make sure to pay extra special attention to diagrams showing what to do, because half of mine will be reversed. I also didn't realized it mattered which prong of the LED was placed into which slot, which made it so my LED didn't work, and gave some confusion. But all in all, it was super simple to complete and super fun! PARALLEL SWITCH: This was the one where I realized that the wires the base Arduino gives you are not going to be color coded to pos and neg, which gave me a ...
