+* This program demonstrates how to read a switch and toggle a LED.             *
+* Connect LED and resistor between to DIP36 (P0_21) and DIP1 (0V).             *
+* Connect switch between DIP5 (P0_9) and DIP1 (0V).                            *
+*                                                                              *
