As in every great recipe you need the right ingredients. Check the list and see if you have all the tools required

TinkerKit!

Be sure to have at least a couple modules

1

Plug the TinkerKit shield on top of the Arduino, then connect them to your USB port

2

Connect the LED module to the Output 0 pin (O0)

3

Open the Arduino IDE and paste the following code. Don’t worry if you don’t understand it now, everything will be clear.

/*
based on Blink, Arduino’s “Hello World!”
Turns on an LED on for one second, then off for one second, repeatedly.
The Tinkerkit Led Modules (T010110-7) is hooked up on O0

created in Dec 2011
by Federico Vanzati
This example code is in the public domain.
*/

#include <tinkerkit.h>
// include the TinkerKit library
TKLed led(O0);
// creating the object ‘led’ that belongs to the ‘TKLed’ class
// and giving the value to the desired output pin

void setup() {
// TinkerKit ‘object’ eliminate the need for pin declaration with pinMode()
}

void loop() {
led.on(); // set the LED on
delay(1000); // wait for a second
led.off(); // set the LED off
delay(1000); // wait for a second }

4

Upload the sketch on the board using the Upload button

5

If you have a blinking LED you did just fine. Everything works,you’re ready to move on!

6

Done! You’ve just completed your first sketch, now keep making stuff or browse through the existing projects
