Arduino LED and Sensor Projects Guide

This document contains details of 7 activities involving basic circuits and coding with Arduino. Each activity explores a different component: 1) Blinking an LED, 2) Fading an LED, 3) Using a piezo sensor, 4) Controlling a servo motor, 5) Using a keypad, 6) Interfacing with an LCD display, and 7) Combining a keypad and LCD display. For each activity the materials, code, and challenges are documented. The student is asked to comment on the code, try variations, and note their observations and conclusions.
