Applications and Uses of LED Blinking
The LED blinking project is an important and straightforward method that can be utilized for a wide range of applications in microcontroller-based projects like :
- Security Systems: To check the status of security systems
- Warning Signals: In battery-operated devices, LED blinking can be used to indicate low battery levels.
- In Testing and debugging.
- Status Indication: LEDs can be used to indicate different states of a system. For example, in a home automation project, an LED might blink to indicate whether a device is connected to an internet network or not.
LED Blinking Using Arduino
We will interface an LED (light-emitting diode) to the Arduino UNO board. An LED is a simple diode that emits light in a forward bias. We will write an LED-blinking program on the Arduino IDE and download it to the microcontroller board. The program simply turns ON and OFF LED with some delay between them.
