No-Code Programming for Biology
Connecting external components to your Arduino board
This video tutorial will guide you through how to connect an external LED to your Arduino board using male pins and female-female hook-up wires. It will go through how to connect the LED directly to the Rich UNO R3 board's male pin set, as well as how to use an expansion shield.

This video is part of a series introducing how to use the Biomaker 2020 Starter Kit and XOD no-code programming to make custom instruments for biological research. You can find more video in the series here: • No-Code Programming for Biology (more video to be uploaded soon)
These videos have been made to accompany the No-Code Programming for Biology online workshop. You can find more information about the course and a downloadable pdf handbook on the Biomaker website: www.biomaker.org/nocode-programming-for-biology-handbook
Biomaker is funded by OpenPlant, one of the UK's four Synthetic Biology Research Centres (SBRCs) and SynBio IRC, the Synthetic Biology Interdisciplinary Research Centre at the University of Cambridge.
XOD software is available for free download from www.xod.io
All parts of the Biomaker 2020 Starter Kit, including the Arduino Rich UNO R3 board were purchased from Open Smart at www.open-smart.aliexpress.com/store/1199788
