-You have a few LEDs included in your kit, some of notably different colours. Go for four of the distinctly red-looking ones, resembling the following:+
  
-{{ :haas:fall2020:common:projects:redled.png?400 |}}+10 LEDs, all in one convenient package!
  
-Do note that the two legs of the LED are not equal in length.+{{ :haas:fall2020:common:projects:ledbar.png?400 |}}
  
-The longer leg is the positive side of the LEDcalled the “anode,” and the shorter leg is the negative side, called the “cathode.” Within an LED, current can only flow from the anode (positive side) to the cathode (negative side) and never in the opposite direction.+The package has a set of pinswhich allow us to hook each LED up as we would if they were separate:
  
-====(4) 220 Ohm resistors==== +{{ :haas:fall2020:common:projects:ledbarpins.png?400 |}} 
-Your kit should come with 3-4 packs of differently rated resistors (220, 1K, and 10K). You want FOUR of the lowest rated ones, the 220 ohm variety. You should see the value marked on the paper strip holding the legs of the resistors.+====(10) 220 Ohm resistors====

-The program files provided for this project are, while not complete, minimally functional. You merely have to get it on your pi, compile it, and run it, and expand it with the appropriate circuitry hooked up to the specified places. You will want to make sure you UNDERSTAND what is going on. So be sure to ASK QUESTIONSand do so EARLY enough so that you aren't in a mad dash to make the deadline.+You aim for this project is to write a program that will get all 10 LEDs in the LED bar to "swoosh" from left to right, that is:
  
-In future projects you will start implementing more logic to attain further functionality.+  * initially start off 
 +  * one at a time (on a constant update delay) activate each LED, from left to right, until each LED is lit up 
 +  * then, one at a time (on the same constant update delay), deactivate each LED, from left to right, until each LED is no longer lit 
 +  * the program can continually perform this swooshing pattern, but it should do the whole pattern at least once
