|
||
|
||
3. **Find the LED blocks** in the blocks menu.
|
||
|
||

## Examples
|
||
|
||
In these functions, you must specify the digital pin corresponding to the module you are using.
|
||
|
||
|
||
*Example 1*
|
||
This function accepts two values from you: one to turn the LED on, and one to turn the LED off.
|
||
|
||
|
||
*Example 2*
|
||
This function takes a number between 0 and 1023 to control the brightness of the LED.
