This week I worked on defining my final project idea and started to getting used to the documentation process.
## Instruction
## Research
- individual assignment:
add an output device to a microcontroller board you've designed,
and program it to do something
- group assignment:
measure the power consumption of an output device

## practice to set up the output device by using arduino
I choose Neo Pixel LEDs as an output device. First of all, I try to LED flashing by using arduino.
## Code Example
I refered to this [arduino guide page](https://create.arduino.cc/projecthub/electropeak/neopixel-how-to-control-ws2812-rgb-led-w-arduino-46c08f)
Use the three backticks to separate code.
### Neo Pixel circuit

learn about NeoPixel LEDs and how to control them with Arduino.
- Before connecting NeoPixels to any large power source (DC “wall wart” or even a large battery), add a **capacitor** (500–1000 µF at 6.3V or higher) across the + and – terminals as shown above. The capacitor buffers sudden changes in the current drawn by the strip.
- Place a **300 to 500 Ohm resistor** between the Arduino data output pin and the input to the first NeoPixel. The resistor should be at the end of the wire closest to the NeoPixel(s), not the microcontroller. *Some products already incorporate this resistor…if you’re not sure, add one…there’s no harm in doubling up!*
