I have always wondered if the correct term would be "Blink an LED" or "Blink a LED" I actually pronounce the letters in L - E - D because when I talk about LED, my mechanical engineering compatriots think I am talking about a heavy material used for radiation shielding and also to make the children in Southern Missouri lead mining towns drool in their cereal. To my ear "an eL-Ee-Dee' sounds more correct. -- Lawrence Lile P.S. Wouter, really useful page. I revert to the blink a led idea on many projects just to make sure my oscillator and basic setup is working OK. 9 times out of 10 I find out I have either swapped some pins, programmed a PIC16F877 using 16F84 settings, set an RC oscillator where an XT should go or some other stupid problem. Any one-off project that has an extra pin always has a blinky LED to tell me it is alive.
