This example uses a momentary push button to turn on the LED. We are using the code provided under examples for Arduino* IDE.

Hardware

  • Intel® Edison module
  • Arduino* expansion board
  • 10k ohm resistor
  • Wires
  • Breadboard
  • Momentary push button
  • 1 LED
  • 220 ohm resistor

Instructions

  1. Make the following breadboard-to-Arduino expansion board connections.
Arduino expansion board Breadboard
5 V Positive strip
GND pin-out Negative strip
  1. Place the LED on the breadboard. Notice that the longer leg of the LED is positive, and the shorter let is negative. Make the following connections.
