Blinky Example

Functionality

The Blinky Example shows how to configure the GPIO pins as outputs which can also be used to drive LEDs on the hardware delivered in the nRF51822 Development Kit.

When the application starts, two GPIO pins are configured as outputs to drive the LEDs. The applications then loops while alternating between turning on LED0 and LED1 every 500ms.

Setup

The source code and project file are available for both development and evaluation boards and is located in the following folders:
<InstallFolder>\Nordic\nrf51822\Board\nrf6310\blinky_example
<InstallFolder>\Nordic\nrf51822\Board\pca10001\blinky_example
<InstallFolder>\Nordic\nrf51422\Board\pca10003\blinky_example

Testing

The Blinky Example Application can be tested as follows:

1. Compile and program the application.
2. Observe that the LEDs are blinking.
