problems lighting up LED on pi 3

Question

HI i am new tp pi and python and wanted to create something that simply turns on and off a led.

It does not seem to work and not sure why?

here is the python script:

    from gpiozero import LED, Button

from time import sleep

led = LED(2)
led.on()


while True:
    range(100) and None
    led.on()
    sleep(0.5)
    led.off()
    sleep(0.5)

Here is a pic of my pi 3 wiring:

I followed this guide

Answer 1

The problem is caused by the line range(100) and None which is causing your loop to exit. You need to remove it. Where did it come from? It's not in the docs.

If you want to loop 100 times, change the while True: to for i in range(100):

Also it's probably just the way you pasted in the code here but your first line is indented, just make sure it isn't indented in your program.
