Prompt: As a class, we will review the basics of Arduino electronics by looking at this Tutorial together. If you have not downloaded the software yet, make sure to follow the Installation instructions.

Next, we'll test a few core ways to use an Arduino. We'll be looking at three circuit examples (found below and in the File -> Examples folders in the Arduino IDE): 

1. LED blink
2. Fading an LED
3. Servo Sweep

You'll be asked to build the circuit in the diagram and copy and paste the code into your "sketch," which is what Arduino calls the programs that control the Arduino. Don't worry about memorizing any of this, but you should take notes, pay close attention, and HAVE FUN!
