Activity 1: Hello World!
Introduction
You will create a simple program, or sketch, that will blink the red LED on the
PULSE controller. Think of the controller as if it’s winking at you! This activity is the
equivalent of a Hello World! program, which is usually the intro activity for any new
programmer. The sketch you will create is a simple and basic PULSE code. All you
need is the PULSE controller, a power source, and a USB connection to the computer.
