Lesson 98: Arduino 10 LED Push button Projects, Potentiometer LED Voltmeter and Traffic Light

Please select other codes for this lecture from the links below.

Part 1: Introduction

In this lesson we learn how to use LED and Push button in this 10 LED projects. Wiring diagram is shown, code is fully explained and demonstrated with multiple change of settings for each project. We read potentiometer's voltage and display voltage by turning each LED on to represent voltages. A Simple traffic light project.
This code is part of video lecture. This project 5 code. This code is turning on an LED when a push button is pressed. When the push button is relased, the LED will turn OFF after delayLED time.

 * What pars we need:
 * -Of course Arduino board (UNO , Nano, Mega or any)
 * -Push button switch 
 * -LED eitehr 5mm or 3mm
 * -200ohm to 1000 ohrm resistor for LED
 * -Some dupont wires to connec 
 * -If don't want to solder, then use breadboard
