I got the LED to flash.

Woooot! F33r my l33t coding skillz!

Most programming comes down to making a light go on _AND_ off. I too have found it strangely satisfying.

or use an ADC and make it go ON and then MORE ON!
:)

[this LED goes up to 11!]


not that the same can't be accomplished by making it go on on on off etc

Wait until you discover XOR! ;)

Hasn't it already been discovered?
'cause if it hasn't, patent it pronto!

Re: flashing LED

only one hting better than making a LED go on and off, is if that output is connected to something big and chunky and one can make it move by turning outputs on and off.
Valves and motors too are fun. I used to *enjoy* doing process controll stuff and ladder logic (simulating relay control stuff) to actually make things physically happen...

Re: flashing LED and moving actuators

Yum, PCL! I did some as part of my Mech Eng course back in the early to mid-90s. Any jobs going in the area doing that? ;-)

Have had a look around for SCADA engineers & the like,
there's Silvertech nearby in Horsham, but alas noone hiring or interested.
Oh well...
