Circuit 2
LEDs (light-emitting diodes) are small, powerful lights
that are used in many dierent applications. To start o
the SIK, we will work on blinking an LED. at's right
- it's as simple as turning a light on and o. It might
not seem like much, but establishing this important
baseline will give you a solid foundation as we work
toward more complex experiments.

Each circuit begins with a brief descripon
of the what you are pung together and
the expected result.
This is a schemac of your circuit.
This is an illustraon of how the
completed circuit should look. It is not
necessary to use the black holder for the
RedBoard and breadboard, but we
recommend it for the first me inventor!
Components like resistors need to have
their legs bent into 90° angles in order to
correctly fit the breadboard sockets. You
can also cut the legs shorter to make them
easier to work with on the breadboard.
