Simple code not working

Hi,

I have tried to get this simple code working on the mbed LPC1768. I tried this at university, and it worked perfectly. It compiles and downloads, and sits on the mbed without a problem, but then the mbed doesn't carry out the programme once it is reset.

  1. include "mbed.h" DigitalOut myled(LED2); int main() { while(1) { myled = 1; wait(0.2); myled = 0; wait(0.2); } }

Thanks in advance Rob

I have three suggestions for debugging

1. Reflash the mBed interface to be sure that it is up to date. 2. Try using a different LED rather than LED2. 3. Try using a longer wait time.

Happy to help you further if these suggestions don't provide any help. Hopefully you have a voltmeter.

For reflashing the firmware, check out this page:

Apologies for not responding for a year, but circumstances meant that I only managed to work on this recently. I found out what the problem was. I wasn't waiting for the code to flash to the mbed before resetting. Once I'd waited for the mbed to finish accepting the code, and then resetting it, it worked perfectly. Thanks for your help.
