Notes

• Getting the arduino to fit into the holes on the breadboard is more difficult than I anticipated — after my first try at loosening all the holes, I couldn’t seem to get it to go in; eventually Nakyung suggested using a piece with bigger connections to force the holes, which worked
• Long showed me how to connect power using a battery and helped me figure out which parts were which from the yellow bins
• I found it easy to mix up anode/cathode ends on the LED at first — I think I’ll remember it as short things usually being closer to the ground, so short = cathode
