Introduction

This is the most basic example for the Userspace Arduino library involving blinking an LED from a sketch. For the Beaglebone Black, the current variant has a setup as shown in the diagram.

Connecting an LED to the Beaglebone Black


Hardware

You need:

  • LED: any color and size. 10mm works fine
  • Resistor: > 470Ω to avoid exceeding the current limit of 4 mA per pin
  • Wire to join the stuff

Wire the LED with the positive (longer) end to P8_19 and the other end to GND.

Derived from Blink

// Pin 8_19 has an LED connected to it. It maps to 7 on the Beaglebone Black variant
