int ledPin =  13;    // LED connected to digital pin 13

// The setup() method runs once, when the sketch starts

void setup()   {                
// initialize the digital pin as an output:
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);     
}

// the loop() method runs over and over again,
// as long as the Arduino has power

void loop()                     
{
digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);   // set the LED on
delay(50);                  // wait for a second
digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);    // set the LED off
delay(50);                  // wait for a second
