3. Monitor and Control

In this example, you will learn to build a powerful and fully interactive human-machine interface in the form of a web-application. This example illustrates how to control the state of LED based on value received from POT. Note that, the threshold value and the decesion to glow (on/off) LED is controlled through webpage and NOT from Arduino.

Hardware

- Get an Arduino board, POT, LED, resistor and few jumpers
- Connect a POT at analog pin# A0
- Connect a LED at digital pin# 13. Don't forget to add a resistor in series with LED
- Connect Arduino board with computer
