A labeled schematic-style circuit diagram of an Arduino Uno board with two branches. On the left, pin D2 connects to a push button symbol and then to a shared ground rail, with a callout noting that INPUT_PULLUP removes the need for an external resistor. On the right, pin D13 connects through a zig-zag resistor symbol labeled "220Ω resistor" to a triangular LED symbol with small emitted-light arrows, then down to the same ground rail.
