• copy the following code that allow the build-in LED “GPIO2” blink

const int ledPin = 2;

void setup() {
  // put your setup code here, to run once:
  pinMode (ledPin, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
  digitalWrite (ledPin, HIGH);

  delay(500);

  digitalWrite (ledPin, LOW);

  delay(500);
