Hello,

I am new to ROS and want to understand how to do something as simple as programming an LED to blink. I am using a Raspberry Pi 3 with ubuntu mate and kinetic installed. I have experience in coding and have coded the blinking LED in raspbian fairly easily, but I am clueless where to start in ROS. I'm not sure how to access the GPIO or where to start with the program. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You can start with reading some documentation about ros ( like this ) So you will understand the basics of messages, topics, services, nodes, how to run ros nodes, etc.

What language are you using? c++? python?

If you're using Python, this might help: https://github.com/mattmongeon/rpi_ex...
