+ * Blink the Wiring board LED

+ *
+ * turns on and off the Wiring board LED, with
+ * intervals of 1 second, using a 16bit timer
+ * interrupt to avoid burning electrons with active wait.
+ *
+ * For the Wiring boards v1 the on-board LED is on pin 48,
+ * on Wiring S the on-board LED is on pin 15.
+ * it is also possible to use the WLED constant with the
+ * digitalWrite command: digitalWrite(WLED, HIGH). WLED will be the
+ * correct pin in the current board selected in the
+ * Tools -> Board menu.
