In Arduino Uno everything works perfect but in Arduino Mega doesn't. You can see evrything in this video: Any advice?

In Arduino Uno everything works perfect but in Arduino Mega doesn't. You can see evrything in this video: Any advice? Arduino mega is better than arduino uno. Tally lights works perfect in uno. The Arduino Mega has 54 pins and uno has less pins. For more details, you can visit my post Arduino Mega Vs Arduino UNO.

I believe that's how the book has it.What happens if I use the wrong size resistor? It just won't work? I think I have the 220-ohm, but I can't tell for sure. I have a 5 band, because I don't see and 220-ohm 4 band resisters in my kit.

Take a look here: I also suggest to take a look to the tutorials about Arduino in Youtube: just the first lessons.
