Basic LED Blink - Arduino VS. Girlfriend.

Cool. For your next move on your GF, add a buzzer and add code have it send out I love you in morse code. There are a couple of morse code software libraries around these parts somewhere. She will be so impressed. :wink:

Output from 11, 10, 9 should go through resistor before going to bread-
board and LEDs, but green hardly lit up this way so I skipped
the resistor.
IS THIS BAD? I HAVEN"T BURNED DOWN MY HOUSE YET, SO IT MUST
NOT BE TERRIBLE, BUT I DON"T GET WHY I HAD TO DO THIS...

Yes it is bad, you can easily burn out a digital output pin by not having a current limiting resistors. The reason that green gave you a problem is that green leds require around twice the voltage as red leds do. The solution should have been to use a resistor with half the ohm values that the other leds used. Or take two of the original resistors used and wire them in parallel, that gives you half the ohms.
