6. Pin 3.3 V connected to positive power rails(red side of breadboard) while pin GND connected to negative power rails(blue side of breadboard).
Put resistor 220 Ohms in terminal strips at different rows on each leg.

12. Connect Maker Uno and laptop/pc using USB (like in red circles).

p1 12

13. Before proceed to this step, Arduino IDE have been installed and some setting is needed.

Note : Follow the step of installation and setup from this website.

After done the installation, copy code from sample code section and paste into Arduino IDE.

To select the board model, go to Tools > Board > Arduino/Genuino Uno.

Click the “Upload” button to upload the sample code to your Maker UNO.

Sample Code

int LED = 4;                              // LED at pin 4
int Button = 2;                           // Button at pin 2

void setup()
{
  pinMode(LED, OUTPUT);                   // LED as output
  pinMode(Button, INPUT_PULLUP);          // Button as input
}
void loop()
{
  if(digitalRead(Button) == HIGH)         // If Button is turned ON
     digitalWrite(LED, HIGH);             // LED will light up
  else if (digitalRead(Button) == LOW)    // If Button is turned OFF
     digitalWrite(LED, LOW);              // LED will not light up
}
