If your Electric Imp was successfully commissioned, you should see your

imp device appear under Unassigned Devices on the left-hand side.

Click the Create New Model button.

In the name field, type “Hello, blink” for the name of our model. Check the

box next to our device under Unassigned Devices. Click Create Model.

Now, on the left side, you should see a new tab called Hello, blink. Select

than, then click your imp name. This is the standard view of the imp IDE.

It’s split into three sections:

1. Agent – This is code that runs external to your imp, in the cloud.

You can offload server tasks, like HTTP requests, here. There are

built in functions to aid in communication between imp and agent.

2. Device – This is the code that your imp runs. This is where you do

all of your hardware control, like writing pins high and low, or reading

inputs.

3. Log – This is where messages and errors are printed (using the

server.log() function).

Now we’re ready to load some code and blink some LEDs!

The Circuit

The circuit for this example is very simple. We only need to connect an LED

to pin 1. Don’t forget your current-limiting resistor (330 Ω)!
