This is very basic but I am not getting it
I received my QuickStart board and am attempting to make it blink an led but am having no success. The power on light is on. Using the Propellor tool when I load an example using the F10 button (I am using ConstantBlinkRate) the red and Blue Rx TX leds flash. The led which looks like it should be on Pin 4 does not flash however. When I push F7 the program finds the Propellor chip on Com 18. So.....it seems to me that that the Propellor tool is finding the board and uploading to it but the board is not responding for some reason.
I tried the Simple IDE with similar results using the BlinkLight.side program. It compiled and loaded but no results blinking an led.
I have done searches looking for a cause of the led not blinking but I am not finding anything that helps. I am sure that I am missing something very basic and easy but for me it is not easy as I do not know what it is. I am still waiting for my Propellor books to learn but am eager to get this board to respond.
Any ideas for a real amateur with the Propellor board?
Thanks
Will

Attach the code you're trying and someone here should be able to help.
Untested, but I'm hoping it's simple enough to just work.
Chris - You are correct. I should have posted the code. Next time.....
Jason - You are correct also. The code I was running was not specific to the QuickStart board. I think my Arduino experience led me astray on this one.
Electrodude - Thank you for the code. It blinked the pin 16 led very nicely. I changed it to blink pin 17 just for fun.
Jason - Thank you for the code also. I had to change the (true) to (1) to get it to compile but it blinks the led very nicely also.
Thanks again
Will
