Hello,
I recently purchased a Stampworks Experiment Kit as i am fairly familiar with programming however have no clue with electronics which i am keen to learn.
I was reading through the first part of 'what is a mircrocontroller'. When i attempt the simple circuit of negative end of LED into vss then positive into the board, then resistor into vdd and then plugged into the same line as the LED the LED doesnt light up.
Does anyone have any tips? much appreciated
Kind Regards

Yes, im quite certain theres power to the board, iv done about 6 tutorials from the accompanying book. Also i have tried the LED both ways. Could it be the wrong resistor?
Do learn the color code.
