Blink User LED on Nucleo-F439ZI

I want to let the user LEDs blinken, however it is not working. When I run the code the LD4(COM) is blinking red and green. after the run the LD4(COM) is red the whole time and the user LEDs do not blink. Should the LD4(COM) be lighting green?

    Hello @ap44 and welcome to the community,

    You need to share your code so we can check.

    You can also inspire from this example.

    You'll need to show the code for anyone to be able to help you with it.

    See: How to insert source code    for instructions.

     

    But before that, have you tried one of the examples from CubeIDE ?

     

    Has your Nucleo-F439ZI board been modified in any way?

    Hi, thank you for your answer!

    My Board has not been modified in any way.

    right now I am trying to get the example which was posted in my question running. I modified the code accordingly, the I built (the hammer-icon) and the I run it, afterwards i press the buttons on my nucleo but it does not work.

    Hello,

    Please attach your ioc file. 

    PS: no need to reconfigure the GPIOs as they were configured in MX_GPIO_Init().

    LD4 should be solid red when the program is running. It will be flashing during programming or while debug is active.

    It is now working with this code, so my red LED is blinking, before I tried to let the green blink. Now I switched to the red using Pin PB14, so maybe the Pin I tried to use for the green one was wrong. I tried to use Pin PA5. Could you maybe tell me where I can find the pin-configuration for my Board STM32- nucleo-f439ZI. I went through the whole user-manual but could not find it and there is no CAD-documentation for this board or at least I could not find it.
