Just received my UNO starter kit.
Following the 'MyBlink' tutorial and using the tiny breadboard with resistors & a 5mm red led - works great until I reassign the output from pin 13 to pin 7 in the sketch as suggested: the on-board led goes out and pin 13 output drops to approx half (very dim blinking led). When I move the output jumper to pin 7 the external led does nothing and the on-board led stays lit continuously. When I remove the output jumper the on-board led remains lit with no blinking. This result is the same when I assign the output to any other pin.
Is this a known issue? I wasn't able to find anything like it described in this or the Arduino CC forums. Thank you.
Only pin13 works as output and it bleeds to other pins

Please post your modified code and a photo showing your wiring.

Your digitalWrites are still referencing "LED_BUILTIN". You need to change that to "led"

Thank you. I had previously changed that line to LED and it didn't work. I didn't realize it was case sensitive.
Thanks again!
Thanks again!
