The good news is all the LED I had on my breadboard are working and the LEDs were blinking the way as I expected. But the bad news is I think somehow I messed up, my arduino shut down on itself. Once I unplug the USB and re-connect it. Only few LED went on but in few second my Arduino board shut down again. One solution is I think it drives too much current somehow and few LEDs are over heated. I honestly don't really know why. I would love if someone can help me and fix it.I totally cannot capture a picture well because the board just shut down so fast. Right now, my board just won't turn on at all. So I played around with it for a few moment. I could smell that something was burning. Once I unplugged few wires. Some LEDs started lighting up brightly. That helps me realize that since I have LEDs at the moment, it cannot handle all the current I drove for it.
