Setting up your arduino’s first few problems is a fun experience. Similar to when you first start learning a new coding language, your initial accomplishments are akin to the space launch.

My first interactive circuit utilized a switch, a resistor and an LED. When the button was pressed the light would turn on high.

My next circuit utilized two switches in parallel and then wiring both switches to the resistor. When either switch is pressed, the circuit is completed and the LED turns on.

THE MAGIC!!!!!

After you are finished pressing the button 200x there are endless other projects to tackle.

If you’re interested in the arduino you can find a full starter kit on amazon for fairly cheap.
