    Flashing the LED (or sometimes calls "Hello world") is the very first lesson and the first step to the microcontrollers world. That is for learning to control the individual Pins on the microcontroller, latter on the "LED" could be a transistor that turns a DC motor or a relay to do something else, or back-light of the LCD and so many other things!

    Light, is what a Light Emitting Diode control's... and WHO told you how to turn the LED's on and off?
    Could You post the code You have allready tried? err, I am assuming you did try some code.

    On second thought...
    lisrus, did you forget to include the link to "where ever" in your very first post?
    I think that it would be a crying shame if you did...

    That's an easy one.. LEDs control humans...


    As said, post up some code and we'll help you with the secrets of mind control. :)
