# LED Peripheral Control
## Overview
Based on the Hi3861 platform, the OpenHarmony WLAN module provides abundant peripheral operation capabilities, including the I2C, I2S, ADC, UART, SPI, SDIO, GPIO, PWM, and flash memory. This document describes how to control GPIO pins by calling the OpenHarmony native development kit \(NDK\) interface to implement LED blinking. For details about how to control other IoT peripherals, see the API guide.
## Development
1. Complete the operations described in [Getting Started with Hi3861](../quick-start/quickstart-lite-overview.md).
LED control examples are stored in the file **applications/sample/wifi-iot/app/iothardware/led\_example.c**.
2. Understand the cable connections by referring to the schematic diagram of the development board. You can learn that LED of hispark pegasus is connected to pin 9 of the chip.
```
#define LED_TEST_GPIO 9
```
> **NOTE:**
>
>For details about the schematic diagram of the development board, contact the Hi3861 customer service personnel.
3. Initialize the GPIO pin, specify the pin usage, and create a task that turns on or off the LED periodically to implement LED blinking.
```
static void LedExampleEntry(void)
{
osThreadAttr_t attr;
/* Initialize the GPIO pin. */
IoTGpioInit(LED_TEST_GPIO);
/* Set pin 9 as the output direction. */
IoTGpioSetDir(LED_TEST_GPIO, IOT_GPIO_DIR_OUT);
attr.name = "LedTask";
attr.attr_bits = 0U;
attr.cb_mem = NULL;
attr.cb_size = 0U;
attr.stack_mem = NULL;
attr.stack_size = LED_TASK_STACK_SIZE;
attr.priority = LED_TASK_PRIO;
/* Start the task. */
if (osThreadNew((osThreadFunc_t)LedTask, NULL, &attr) == NULL) {
printf("[LedExample] Failed to create LedTask!\n");
}
}
```
4. Use a cyclic task in which the LED periodically turns on and off to implement LED blinking.
```
static void *LedTask(const char *arg)
{
(void)arg;
while (1) {
switch (g_ledState) {
case LED_ON:
IoTGpioSetOutputVal(LED_TEST_GPIO, 1);
usleep(LED_INTERVAL_TIME_US);
break;
case LED_OFF:
IoTGpioSetOutputVal(LED_TEST_GPIO, 0);
usleep(LED_INTERVAL_TIME_US);
break;
case LED_SPARK:
IoTGpioSetOutputVal(LED_TEST_GPIO, 0);
usleep(LED_INTERVAL_TIME_US);
IoTGpioSetOutputVal(LED_TEST_GPIO, 1);
usleep(LED_INTERVAL_TIME_US);
break;
default:
usleep(LED_INTERVAL_TIME_US);
break;
}
}
}
```
5. Call **SYS\_RUN\(\)** of OpenHarmony to start the service. \(**SYS\_RUN** is defined in the **ohos\_init.h** file.\)
```
SYS_RUN(LedExampleEntry);
```
6. Add **led\_example.c** to the **applications/sample/wifi-iot/app/BUILD.gn** file for building.
```
import("//build/lite/config/component/lite_component.gni")
lite_component("app") {
features = [
"iothardware:led_example"
]
}
```
## Verification
For details about the compilation and burning processes, see [Building](../quick-start/quickstart-lite-steps-hi3861-building.md) and [Burning](../quick-start/quickstart-lite-steps-hi3861-burn.md).
After the preceding two steps are complete, press the **RST** button to reset the module. If the LED blinks periodically as expected, the verification is passed.
