Jumping into Arduino Programming

I’ve been researching different lighting systems to build light into the layout for eventual night ops. After much deliberation, I’ve decided to take the plunge and program my own LEDs using a Sparkfun RedBoard Plus along with a Qwiic Shield with plenty of prototyping ports for a bunch of lights. There are a good number of YT videos that easily explain how to set up the Arduino code to light, dim, and flash LEDs, so I hope the process will be straightforward. I also picked up a cheap breadboard and connecting cables on Amazon to test each setup before soldering anything permanently to the RedBoard. 

Taking this approach saves quite a bit over the hobby LED controllers on the market.
