Make sure the end of the wire is inserted in front of the GND pin of the controller board.

This is the scheme of connection, note that the connection has to be made through the breadboard.

Let us try to see how the software works. We will need to install the Arduino IDE first, it is a software that allows us to create, modify and upload software on the controller board. You will be able to learn the above steps and more things in great detail in our free trial class. You can sign up for the free trial class by
