"Blinky"

"Blinky" is a simple computer program or device often used as an introductory project in programming and electronics. Its primary function is to make an LED (light-emitting diode) turn on and off repeatedly, creating a blinking light. This demonstrates basic concepts like controlling hardware with code, understanding timing, and learning programming logic. Blinky is commonly used as a starting point for beginners to gain hands-on experience with microcontrollers or development boards, such as Arduino or Raspberry Pi, helping them understand how software interacts with physical components.
