Blink sketch

In this lab we simply wanted to get our Arduino to flash it's light on and off. 

When I tried to upload the standard code I had an error. I checked to make sure my system was set to be working with the Arduino Uno, which wasn't the problem. Next was to check that I was using the correct port to upload.

Easy enough to check and then try to upload the program for a second time.

And we have liftoff!

Tinkered with the delay times until I got one that gave my the rate I was looking for.  turned out to be 100 for the high and the low.

Programming

  The first programming assignment involved doing some simple calculations with C.
