# Sequence all seven EagLED LEDs

**Difficulty:** Beginner | **Estimated Time:** 25 minutes

Follow an array through the six shaped LEDs and the small user indicator.

Follow an array through the six shaped LEDs and the small user indicator.

Designed for the intact EagLED v1.2 with buzzer. Start with USB power; no cutting or sewing is required.

## Steps

### Step 1 — Prepare the intact EagLED

Use an **intact black EagLED v1.2 with buzzer**, a micro-USB **data** cable and a computer. The LEDs, button and light sensor are already connected by PCB traces. You do not need jumper wires, a breadboard, external resistors or a separate Arduino.

Keep the board uncut for this project. Place it on a dry, non-conductive surface. Leave the battery socket empty, connect USB and move the main board switch to **ON**. Move the separate switch beside the buzzer to **OFF** for quiet LED and sensor experiments.

The 3D view follows this starter program and its controls. It illustrates the mechanism; it does not execute changes made in the code editor or measure a connected board.

### Step 2 — Explore the result in 3D

Press Play. Only one LED should be lit at a time, in the order USR, left eye, right eye, left star, left heart, right heart, right star. Drag to orbit, inspect a named component, and use Top or Underside to follow the real board layout.

### Step 3 — Program your EagLED

The English IDE below opens with **Little Bird EagLED** and **Arduino C++** selected. Read the English instructions beside the supplied program, then press **Verify** to compile it for this board.

To program your physical board, download the same sketch below and open it in **Arduino IDE**. Install the Little Bird AVR board package, choose **Little Bird EagLED** and its USB port, then Verify and Upload. Follow the [EagLED setup guide](/projects/get-started-with-the-eagled) if this is your first upload. Upload replaces the factory light pattern.

EagLED uses an **ATmega32U4 at 8 MHz**. Do not choose Uno or a 16 MHz Leonardo profile. Its USB port can change while the bootloader is active. If upload fails, check the selected port and retry after pressing the centre board’s reset button. The triangular project button is not reset. Close any browser serial connection before uploading from Arduino IDE.

[Open in English](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/english?example=eagled-sequence-3d)

Use a Little Bird EagLED, 3.3 V, ATmega32U4 at 8 MHz. Keep the board intact.

Use LEDs on D7, D3, D10, D0, D1, D12 and D6, in that order. Set all seven pins as outputs.

Light one LED for 250 milliseconds, then turn it off before lighting the next. Repeat the sequence. Keep the buzzer switch off.

### Step 4 — Keep a copy of the complete program

This is the same complete Arduino C++ program used by the English IDE. Copy it or download the .ino file.

### Step 5 — Understand the program

`LED_PINS` is an array: a numbered list of actual output pins. Its first index is 0. `LED_COUNT` divides the array’s byte size by one entry’s byte size, giving 7. It stays correct if you add or remove an entry.

```
for (byte i = 0; i < LED_COUNT; i++) {
  digitalWrite(LED_PINS[i], HIGH);
  delay(STEP_MS);
  digitalWrite(LED_PINS[i], LOW);
}
```

The for loop starts i at 0, repeats while i is less than 7, then increments i. Turning the current LED LOW before the next iteration prevents an accumulating trail. The PWR, TX and RX indicators are not entries in this list.

### Step 6 — Work through one case

| Index i | LED_PINS[i] | Physical output |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 7 | USR |
| 1 | 3 | Left eye |
| 2 | 10 | Right eye |
| 3 | 0 | Left star |
| 4 | 1 | Left heart |
| 5 | 12 | Right heart |
| 6 | 6 | Right star |

Seven steps × 250 ms gives a 1.75 s repeating cycle. When i becomes 7, the inner loop ends; the next loop() starts again at index 0.

### Step 7 — Test it on your board

Press Play. Only one LED should be lit at a time, in the order USR, left eye, right eye, left star, left heart, right heart, right star.

Check the physical output after uploading. Successful compilation confirms syntax and board compatibility; the 3D illustration cannot confirm your board’s USB connection or electrical operation.

### Step 8 — Predict, change and compare

Write down the physical order you want, then change only the order inside LED_PINS. Keep every pin exactly once and STEP_MS at 250. Predict the first three lights, upload and compare. Then independently predict what happens if you remove the LOW command.

Check your reasoning after trying itReordering values changes the route, not the total time. Removing LOW leaves each visited LED lit, so eventually all seven stay on. Restore LOW to recover one light at a time.

### Step 9 — Find and fix a problem

**The buzzer clicks:** D12 also connects to the buzzer. Turn its separate switch OFF. **The left LEDs behave strangely:** do not start Serial1; its RX/TX use D0 and D1. USB Serial is a separate connection.

**Nothing responds:** check the main switch, the power indicator and a known data-capable USB cable. Confirm the EagLED board profile and USB port. If the board has already been snipped apart, its original connections are broken: follow a separate sewable wiring project before using this intact-board sketch.

### Step 10 — Keep exploring

Continue through the [EagLED experiments](/learning-paths/eagled-experiments) or open the [full board explorer](/components/eagled). The original [EagLED schematic and manufacturing files](https://github.com/littlebirdelectronics/eagled) document the pin connections.
