So I followed the instructions in the *Bad to the Bone* manual to run the 
blinkled.js script on the board. However, I don't think it is working at 
all. I have the board connected to the USB port of my PC and connected via 
Ethernet as well. I do not have an external LED attached to port P8_13, as 
I'm not sure *where* that is. There are no Pin numbers printed on the board 
and I am not 100% sure where to begin looking. I figured not having the 
external LED would be okay and that it shouldn't affect the USR LED from 
blinking (was that a correct assumption?).

In any event, I don't really notice any rhythmic blinking in any of the 
LEDs (except for the one that is pre-configured to mimic a heartbeat). T*hey 
seem to just be blinking at random times and with random intensities*. (I *can 
take a video upon request*, if you guys think it will help me figure out 
what is going on.). I know at least one of them blinks whenever the eMMC is 
accessed or something like that. *So where should I begin trouble shooting 
with this issue?*

Here is the blinkled.js code for your reference:
var b = require('bonescript');

var ledPin = "P8_13";
var ledPin2 = "USR3";

b.pinMode(ledPin, b.OUTPUT);
b.pinMode(ledPin2, b.OUTPUT);

var state = b.LOW;
b.digitalWrite(ledPin, state);
b.digitalWrite(ledPin2, state);

setInterval(toggle, 5000);

function toggle() {
    if(state == b.LOW) state = b.HIGH;
    else state = b.LOW;
    b.digitalWrite(ledPin, state);
    b.digitalWrite(ledPin2, state);
}


Somethings I've already tried with the code, that haven't worked:

   - Changing the USR
   - Changing the interval
   - Commenting out the code for the external LED

Thanks in advance for any help.

BeagleNoob (at least I'm trying to crawl before I'm trying to run).
