+pinMode() is usually called within :ref:`lang-setup` in order to
configure a pin for a certain usage (although it may be called
anywhere).
Example
-------
-::
+This example uses pinMode() to set up the pin connected to the
+built-in LED as an output. Once this is done,
+:ref:`lang-digitalwrite` can be used to turn the pin ``HIGH`` and
+``LOW``, which turn the LED on and off.
- int ledPin = 13; // LED connected to digital pin 13
+::
void setup() {
- pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // sets the digital pin as output
+ pinMode(BOARD_LED_PIN, OUTPUT); // sets the LED pin as output
}
void loop() {
- digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); // sets the LED on
- delay(1000); // waits for a second
- digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); // sets the LED off
- delay(1000); // waits for a second
+ digitalWrite(BOARD_LED_PIN, HIGH); // sets the LED on
+ delay(1000); // waits for a second
