In this post, I will show how to setup your development environment and started developing Flash projects that integrate with the Arduino electronic platform. For this tutorial, we will cover how to:
For this tutorial, we will cover how to:
Set up Arduino and make sure it is connected correctly.
Install and configure a proxy program so Flash can communicate with the Arduino.
Build a simple Flash application that blinks an LED on the Arduino.
Once we are finished with the tutorial, you will be all setup to begin working on real world Flash / Arduino projects.
Adafruit publishes a wide range of writing and video content, including interviews and reporting on the maker market and the wider technology world. Our standards page is intended as a guide to best practices that Adafruit uses, as well as an outline of the ethical standards Adafruit aspires to. While Adafruit is not an independent journalistic institution, Adafruit strives to be a fair, informative, and positive voice within the community – check it out here: adafruit.com/editorialstandards
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.

There is not a resistor on digital pin 13 and connecting an LED without any current limiting is a bad idea. You are relying on the short circuit limit of the port pin which could lead to disaster.
There is a resistor in series with the on-board LED.
