How do it create to flash 3 color LED?
Your Test Program is good. It is very easy to start Programming of LPC800. I can flash Blue color. But it defined at same time of LED1, LED2, LED3, it shows a little not normal operation. For Example,
include the mbed library with this snippet
#include "mbed.h"
DigitalOut myled3(LED3); //Red
DigitalOut myled1(LED1); //Blue
int main()
{
while(1)
{
myled3=1;myled1=0;
wait(0.2);
myled3=0;myled1=0;
wait(0.2);
myled3=0;myled1=1;
wait(0.2);
myled3=0;myled1=0;
}
}
Above program is expected, 1. Red lighting 2. LED off 3. Blue lighting 4. LED off
But LED cannot OFF. Why?
And I have one more question about these pin output. I think that these pin can use as GPIO. But I don't know how is define these pin name in mbed compiler. Is not support yet?

The LEDs on the lpc max board are wired differently from those on the lpc1768 board: the LED for the lpc812 will turn ON when you set the pin LOW and turns OFF when the pin is HIGH. LED1 is blue and pin is P0_16, LED2 is green and pin is P0_17, LED3 is red and pin is P0_7. LED4 is same as LED2, red. As soon as you declare a pin it will go low and so default all Leds are ON. All led pins are also available on the lpc max external connectors.

Maybe there is an error in LEDxx implementation for LPC800. Use port names that you find from the shematic, for example red led is P0_20: DigitalOut myled3(P0_20);
