A pushbutton is mounted across the center of the breadboard, connected to rows ten and twelve. A red wire connects the switch to the left side voltage bus. A 220-ohm resistor is connected to row twelve on the left side of the center section of the board. Its other end is connected to row sixteen in the center area. Three LEDs' anodes are connected to another hole in row sixteen. The cathodes of the LEDs are connected to holes in row seventeen. A black wire connects row seventeen to the ground bus on the left side of the board.
