Rian’s LED Light Project

Since I am not the most tech savvy I did one of the easier projects. For this setup the following materials will be needed:

• Raspberry Pi
• Breadboard
• LED Light
• 2 Male to Female Jumpers
• Resistor
• Micro USB Power Supply (or other power supply depending on the computer being used)

The following video is the tutorial I used to set this project up:

Going into this project I did not have all of the materials I needed because I ordered a project kit, not the raspberry pi itself. Because of this, I had to go check out a kit later at the delta library. Aside from this minor setback I would say the setup of this project ran rather smoothly. It was also satisfying for someone like me who does not normally like to deal with technology to complete a task like this. Overall, doing this simple project makes me want to get a raspberry pi of my own to keep building my skills in this area. In the future I would like to build on this project by making the light go off for a purpose like a timer or something of that sort.
