Assignments

1. Wire an LED to the Arduino board. Write a program to blink the LED
2. Wire a pushbutton and an LED to the Arduino board. Write a program to control the LED using the pushbutton
3. Wire a servo motor to the Arduino board. Write a program to sweep the servo motor between 0 and 180 degrees
4. Wire a pushbutton, LED and servo motor to an Arduino board. Write a prograom to perform the following:
   • Start with the LED off
   • When the pushbutton is pressed
     • Turn on the LED
     • Sweep the servomotor between 0 and 90 degree 5 times
     • Turn off the LED
