 Here's your first challenge! Try to complete both tasks. This will help you understand the code.
-| {{workshops:challenge_yourself.jpg?200x0}}| **Easier****(1)** The LED should be flashing once per 2 seconds. Can you make it flash 5 times per second?**(2)** Can you make the LED flash once for 1 second, then once for 0.2 seconds, then again for 1 second and so on in a dot-dash-dot-dash way? |

 You might already be thinking. How do I know what my program is doing if all the feedback I have is a blinking LED? Well there is a solution in the form of serial communication which allows your Arduino to send messages to a computer. These messages can then be shown on your screen by clicking the button at the top right of the Arduino software.
-Note: when handling textual information in the Arduino programming language you need to use double quote marks. In this programming language "digitalWrite" represents text (d followed by an i, followed by a g, and so on, spelling the word digitalWrite), whereas digitalWrite (without the double quotes) is a reference to a feature of the programming language which allows you to control the voltage on various pins.
