#Its #Arduino Time. Control LED module from arduino ide

This tutorial is for helping you learn controlling things through your computer using Arduino.
All you need to have is:-
(Hardware)
1 Arduino or any other arduino clone board
6 LEDs
Some connecting wires
(Software)
Arduino Ide (You can download from dis link- www.arduino.cc)
If you can use a Blink_Program then you are ready start.
You can learn more about arduino here - www.arduino.cc

Setup your hardware as shown in this picture

Now Upload this code to your board.

Copy this and paste on ide then upload to you board

#define led 11
#define led2 10
#define led3 9
#define led4 6
#define led5 5
#define led6 3
int incomingByte = 0;
void setup() {
 pinMode(led, OUTPUT);
 pinMode(led2, OUTPUT);
 pinMode(led3, OUTPUT);
 pinMode(led4, OUTPUT);
 pinMode(led5, OUTPUT);
 pinMode(led6, OUTPUT); // set pins at output
 Serial.begin(9600);
 Serial.print("a = Start Formation");
 Serial.print("s = Start Reverse Formation");
 Serial.print("d = Stop Formation");
}

void loop() {

if (Serial.available() > 0) {

// read the incoming byte:

incomingByte = Serial.read();

}

switch(incomingByte)

{

case 'a':
digitalWrite(led, HIGH);
delay(100);
digitalWrite(led2, HIGH);
delay(100);
digitalWrite(led3, HIGH);
delay(100);
digitalWrite(led4, HIGH);
delay(100);
digitalWrite(led5, HIGH);
delay(100);
digitalWrite(led6, HIGH);
delay(100);
Serial.println("Formation Done");

incomingByte='*';

break;

case 's':
digitalWrite(led6, HIGH);
delay(100);
digitalWrite(led5, HIGH);
delay(100);
digitalWrite(led4, HIGH);
delay(100);
digitalWrite(led3, HIGH);
delay(100);
digitalWrite(led2, HIGH);
delay(100);
digitalWrite(led, HIGH);
delay(100);
Serial.println("Reversed Formation Done");

incomingByte='*';

break;

case 'd':
digitalWrite(led6, LOW);
digitalWrite(led5, LOW);
digitalWrite(led4, LOW);
digitalWrite(led3, LOW);
digitalWrite(led2, LOW);
digitalWrite(led, LOW);
Serial.println("LED are now off");

incomingByte='*';

//feel free to upgrade this code

break;
}
}

After uploading go to Tools> Serial Monitor
Now, try sending 'a' as message to the board and see what happens to the led
then send 'd' & 's'.
And observes the outcome on bot hardware and on serial monitor.
