Arduino Code Execution

Start your Arduino IDE and either type the code provided in Listing 1-1 or download it
from book’s site and open it. Click on the Verify button to compile and check the code.
Next, using the USB cable that came with your Arduino, connect your Arduino to the
computer that is running Arduino IDE.
Once Arduino is connected to your computer, as shown in Figure  1-7 , click on
