1Blinking an LED
In this first project, you’ll connect an LED to your Pi and make it blink with a python script. Learning how to blink an LED using the GPIO pins is an important step in your Pi education; once you know how to control an LED, you can control practically any output, whether it’s a motor, a lamp, or even a toaster.
