Code Example

Control the internal LED with MicroPython

The internal LED is connected to Pin 25.

from machine import Pin
# the internal LED is connected to Pin 25, we use it as output 
myLED = Pin(25, Pin.OUT)
# this switches the LED on
myLED.on()
# this switches the LED off
myLED.off()

blinking the LED

from machine import Pin
from time import sleep 

# assume our LED is connected to Pin 26, we use it as output 
myLED = Pin(25, Pin.OUT)

while True:
      # this switches the LED on for 1 second
      myLED.on()
      sleep(1)
      # this switches the LED off for 500 ms
      myLED.off()
      sleep(0.5)
