+# Wire the circuit as follows: 
+# 1) connect anode (+) lead of LED to P9.12 pin
+# 2) connect cathode (-) lead to 1K Ohm resistor
+# 3) connect that 1K Ohm resistor to DGND (P9.1)
+
+import time
+import board
+import digitalio

+print("hello blinky!")
+
+led = digitalio.DigitalInOut(board.P9_12)
+led.direction = digitalio.Direction.OUTPUT
+
+while True:
+    led.value = True
+    time.sleep(0.5)
+    led.value = False
+    time.sleep(0.5)
