How to change from red, to green and blink the blue led on the Azure Sphere MT3620 starter kit.
- Azure Starter Kit
- Microsoft Visual Studio
- Watch YouTube Video (recommended for connection)
- GitHub files
- or Azure Blink Template

This change must be made in first the header of the .C file and the .C file itself. | This is assuming you already have your board in azsphere device prep-debug mode in the CMD window. ******************************************************If you are looking for an easy way to get going with the starter kit you're in luck! I recently started playing with the kit myself and was successful in the HelloWorld blink test. In the Azure sample code the GPIO color choice is red of the RBG. There is also a YouTube video by Hackster that shows the code for GPIO 9, which is the green of the RBG. Today my friend you will have the information to blink the blue of the RBG, GPIO 10. |
