PUB LedOnOff
··· dira[noparse][[/noparse]0] := 1
···
··· repeat
······· outa[noparse][[/noparse]0] := 1
······· waitcnt(900_000 + cnt)
······· outa[noparse][[/noparse]0] := 0
······· waitcnt(900_000 + cnt)
The above·just·flashes pin·0 high/low, then repeats.
Just look up each command in the editor search like PUB, dira, outa, etc.
Then try switching this from pin·0 to say pin 4. And be sure to follow the directions to use the appropriate resistor in series with the LED.
I will try this latter today or Monday for sure thank for your reply

·With the Propeller Professional Development Board that·came in the mail today
The hardest ·part to get use to is the fact that you have indent your code I am not use to this
I·am get some where with labs though· the first lab almost made me put it down because of so many error that·I was having writing the code
I am not copy and pasting the code which would be easier but I would· not learn as much

I also have just started learning spin. I used to work with the BS2 a lot. I once started to teach myself Java, but didn't get very far.
Spin is object oriented, like Java, so I kind of had a clue.
The manual and the official guide are both good. This site is good also for getting questions answered.
I haven't gone through the labs as of yet, but will soon. I'm putting together a project now, and just jumped right in. Lots of fun. And,
a great way to learn. Trial and error is a great teacher.
I purchased the demo board, but just purchased the professional dev board. Should have got it from the start. The demo board has
limited pins available for connections.
Hope this helps some, Dan

You'll find a lot of available code, and some demo code showing how the object works.
You can learn a lot reading other people's code.
Start with something easy.....

If you have the Propeller Tool Software v1.2.7 or higher, you have these things built into the Help file:
"Spin Programming Tutorial" - open the Help and look the TOC on the left. This tutorial was written for the Propeller Demo Board. As you use the arrows to navigate through the tutorial, you will see little hat icons above the code listings. Click on them, and the code will open in the Propeller Tool.
PE Kit Labs Fundamentals: The tagged PDF is bundled in the Help, you can open it from the Help drop-down menu in the Propeller Tool editor.
All the example code for the PE Kit Labs: it is in the Library subfolder. Choose File >Open From to see all your resources.
Propeller Manual: The tagged PDF is also bundled with the Help, and can be opened from the drop-down menu.
Have fun!

Edited to add: More resources and activities for the PE Kit are all listed in one place now: http://www.parallax.com/go/PEkit
