Something should be printed out on the IDE serial monitor. It looks like you need to ground that pin and then reset (or cycle the power to) the UNO to get the information to print out. ---

Okay I'll do that right now ---

This might sound stupid but do I just remove it from it's place or what ---

> [@1von](#): > > do I just remove it from it's place or what I'm not sure I understand. Pin 14 is called A0 on the Arduino UNO header. You need to insert a jumper cable into the female header next to A0 (on the Analog In header) and the other end of the jumper cable goes into the socket on the female header in the position marked GND - there's 2 of them on the POWER header. **EDIT** : Ah now I see. If I follow the link on the YouTube page, I find a web page with this drawing: ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/arduino/original/4X/f/e/c/fec3a7b31c282509753cd3b18bd0369e2a08ee3f.jpeg) Now it makes a bit more sense! OK, so it looks like you need to press and hold the left hand button on the breadboard whilst resetting the UNO. ---

I did change some of the variable assigned but all of it are just the same from the yt video **EDIT** : sorry for not including the image of the diagram ---

OK, do i press this red button on the board? is it the reset button for the UNO? ---
