 ARDUINO MEGA 2560 Board
 Arduino board is an open-source microcontroller board which is based on Atmega 2560
microcontroller.
 It includes digital input/output pins-54, where 16 pins are analog inputs, 14 are used like
PWM outputs hardware serial ports (UARTs) – 4, a crystal oscillator-16 MHz, an ICSP
header, a power jack, a USB connection, as well as an RST button.

LED blinking control through programming using Arduino mega-2560 board.

// the setup function runs once when you press reset or power the board
int led = 13;
void setup() {
// initialize digital pin 13 as an LED output.
pinMode(led, OUTPUT);
}
// the loop function runs over and over again forever
void loop() {
digitalWrite(led, HIGH); // turn the LED on by making the voltage HIGH
delay(1000); // wait for a second
digitalWrite(led, LOW); // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
delay(1000); // wait for a second
}
Alternate LEDs blinking control through programming using Arduino mega-2560 board.

// the setup function runs once when you press reset or power the board
int LED1 =13, LED2=11;
void setup() {
// initialize digital pins 13 and 11 as LED1 and LED2 outputs.
pinMode(LED1, OUTPUT);
pinMode(LED2, OUTPUT);
}

// the loop function runs over and over again forever

void loop() {
digitalWrite(LED1, HIGH); // turns the LED1 on by making the voltage HIGH
digitalWrite(LED2, LOW); // turn the LED2 off by making the voltage LOW
delay(1000); // wait for a second
digitalWrite(LED1, LOW); // turn the LED1 off by making the voltage LOW
digitalWrite(LED2, HIGH); // turn the LED2 on by making the voltage HIGH
delay(1000); // wait for a second
