Note: In this project, we are using 4  Resistors ( 1k resistor ), 4 Leds, Arduino pin 5, Pin 6, Pin 7, Pin 8 and Gnd pin to create a connection(Circuit)

A good example is the one in the picture below

1. Connect ground from the Arduino to the bottom row of the farthest right column breadboard this will be a shared line.

2. For LED1

a) Connect the resistor with one end with longer leg of led and the other end using wire on the arduino pin 6 (Arduino pin 6). b) Connect an LED cathode (shorter leg) to ground.

3. For LED2

a) Connect the resistor with one end with longer leg of led and the other end using wire on the arduino pin 7 (Arduino pin 7). b) Connect an LED cathode (shorter leg) to ground.

4. For LED3

a) Connect the resistor with one end with longer leg of led and the other end using wire on the arduino pin 8 (Arduino pin 8). b) Connect an LED cathode (shorter leg) to ground.

5. For LED4

a) Connect the resistor with one end with longer leg of led and the other end using wire on the arduino pin 5 (Arduino pin 5). b) Connect an LED cathode (shorter leg) to ground.
