First let me say I have absolutely no experience in programing, and very very little in electronics.  
That being said I thought I would give the Arduino a go...  
The amount of info out there on the net has been extremely helpful.  
I made a couple of the example project to get up and running...  
Then I decided to try this idea that is obviously revolutionary and nobody has ever thought about doing....

I got and RGB Led To Blink Red for 1 second Blink Green for one second and finally Blink Blue for one second all without Fading....

#########################  
void setup() {  
// put your setup code here, to run once:

}  
void loop() {  
// put your main code here, to run repeatedly:  
pinMode(5, OUTPUT);  
digitalWrite(5, HIGH);  
delay(1000);  
digitalWrite(5, LOW);  
delay(1000);  
pinMode(5, INPUT);  
pinMode(9, OUTPUT);  
digitalWrite(9, HIGH);  
delay(1000);  
digitalWrite(9, LOW);  
delay(1000);  
pinMode(9, INPUT);  
pinMode(10, OUTPUT);  
digitalWrite(10, HIGH);  
delay(1000);  
digitalWrite(10, LOW);  
delay(1000);  
pinMode(10, INPUT);

}

I am sure there is an easier way and probably a BETTER way, but hey,  
I thought of something, I built it, and, I wrote a code to make it work.

Not too bad for having and Arduino for less than 2 days..

Thanks everybody.

It wasn't documented thats all ! 😉

and the next time you post just remember to include all the code in # button present in the tools box !

And welcome here ! 🙂

I obviously need a RGB LED... all the people making really cool stuff have them ☹

But my question would be did you use properly sized series current limiting resistors for the leds? If not you failed! ;D

That's the great thing about the Arduino, you can focus on learning the programming instead of creating the circuit. It is an awesome timesaver! IMO

Hi,

I am newbie here.Many things are available for exhibition.There are a wide range of display stands available on the market ranging from banner stands to pop up graphic displays, literature stands, retractable banners, vinyl banners and A Frames among others.

Thanks!
