Control the on-board LED using Python

Last post show how to control Raspberry Pi on-board LED OK or ACT in command line. This post show the Python code to control it.

Control the on-board LED using Python

Log-in as root, and enter the Python code. It will turn OFF and ON the on-board LED OK or ACT 4 times.

pythonGPIO.py

import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time

GPIO.setwarnings(False)
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
GPIO.setup(16, GPIO.OUT)

for num in range(1, 5):
    print num
    GPIO.output(16, True)   ##Turn OFF LED
    print "LED OFF"
    time.sleep(2)
    GPIO.output(16, False)   ##Turn ON LED
    print "LED ON"
    time.sleep(1)
