Control LEDs with Keyboard Commands via Serial Monitor | Arduino Tutorial | EDUSOFT ROBOTIX
Type to control your hardware! In this tutorial, we will show you how to control an L.E.D. using single-character commands sent directly from your computer. By using the Serial Monitor in the Arduino IDE, you will learn how to turn your L.E.D. on and off just by typing a key (like '1' or '0') on your keyboard!
This project is perfect for learning the absolute basics of Serial Communication, handling user inputs, and understanding how computers talk to microcontrollers.
In this video, you will learn:
How to wire a simple L.E.D. circuit to the Arduino UNO.
The logic behind setting up Serial Communication and reading incoming character data.
A walkthrough of the programme code to use if or switch statements to process single-character commands and trigger digital outputs.
Materials Required:
Arduino UNO
L.E.D.
Resistor (220 ohm or 330 ohm)
Jumper Wires & Breadboard
USB Cable / Power Supply (Essential for Serial Communication)
