LED Blinking with Python

This presentation demonstrates how to develop a simple Python program to control an LED connected to GPIO pin
21. The LED will blink by staying ON for 500 milliseconds and OFF for 1500 milliseconds in a continuous loop,
providing a basic introduction to GPIO programming with Python.

Gather Hardware Install Software Make Connections


Collect Raspberry Pi, LED, Make sure to have Python 3 and Connect LED to GPIO 21 with a
resistor, and jumper wires. [Link] library installed. resistor; ensure proper GND
connection.
Writing the Code
import [Link] as GPIO
import time

# Use BCM numbering


[Link]([Link])

# Set GPIO 21 as output pin


led_pin = 21
[Link](led_pin, [Link])

print("LED blinking... Press Ctrl+C to stop")

try:
while True:
[Link](led_pin, [Link]) # Turn ON LED
[Link](0.5) # Keep ON for 500 ms
[Link](led_pin, [Link]) # Turn OFF LED
[Link](1.5) # Keep OFF for 1500 ms

except KeyboardInterrupt:
print("\nProgram stopped by user")

finally:
[Link]() # Reset all GPIOs
Complete Code Example for Blinking LED
This Python code effectively blinks an LED connected to GPIO 21. The try-except block is utilized to manage exceptions while ensuring the GPIO settings
are cleaned up upon exit.
