(3 things to try)Some LEDs Fail to LightIt is easy to insert an LEDbackwards. Check the LEDsthat aren't working and ensurethey the right way around.Operating out of sequenceWith eight wires it's easy to crossa couple. Double check that thefirst LED is plugged into pin 2 andeach pin there after.Starting AfreshIts easy to accidentallymisplace a wire withoutnoticing. Pulling everything outand starting with a fresh slateis often easier than trying totrack down the problem.Making it BetterSwitching to Loops:in the loop() function there are 4 lines. The lastthree all start with a '//' this means the line istreated as a comment (not run). To switch theprogram to use loops change the void loop()code to://oneAfterAnotherNoLoop();oneAfterAnotherLoop();//oneOnAtATime();//inAndOut();Upload the program, and notice that nothing haschanged. You can take a look at the twofunctions, each does the same thing, but usedifferent approaches (hint the second one uses afor loop)Extra Animations:Tired of this animation? Then try the other twosample animations. Uncomment their lines andupload the program to your board and enjoy the newlight animations. (delete the slashes in front of row 3 and then 4)Testing out your own Animations:Jump into the included code and start changingthings. The main point is to turn an LED on usedigitalWrite(pinNumber, HIGH); then toturn it off use digitalWrite(pinNumber,LOW); . Type away, regardless of what you changeyou won't break anything.More, More, More:More details, where to buy more parts, where to ask more questions.http://tinyurl.com/d2hrud11
