In this activity, you will learn how to blink an image on the LED screen.

|
||||
To create a new script, go to the [Create Code](/microbit/create-code) page and tap *New Project* under *Block Editor*.
|
||||
|
||||
Let's start by adding code that plots a heart image on the screen using `show LEDs`. Once you are done coding, don't forget to run your code in the simulator or the micro:bit.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
basic.showLeds(`
|
||||
. # . # .
|
||||
# # # # #
|
||||
# # # # #
|
||||
. # # # .
|
||||
. . # . .`);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
We want to leave the image on the screen for 0.5 seconds (500 milliseconds), then clear the screen. We can use `pause` to wait and `clear screen` to turn off the LEDs.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
basic.forever(() => {
|
||||
basic.showLeds(`
|
||||
. # . # .
|
||||
# # # # #
|
||||
# # # # #
|
||||
. # # # .
|
||||
. . # . .
|
||||
`)
|
||||
basic.pause(500)
|
||||
basic.clearScreen()
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, we can surround this code with a `forever` loop to repeat it and add a pause after `clear screen` to keep the screen off for a little while. Modify your code so that your code looks like this.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
basic.forever(() => {
|
||||
basic.showLeds(`
|
||||
. # . # .
|
||||
# # # # #
|
||||
# # # # #
|
||||
. # # # .
|
||||
. . # . .
|
||||
`)
|
||||
basic.pause(500)
|
||||
basic.clearScreen()
|
||||
basic.pause(500)
|
||||
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
