If we want to blink the on-board LED we would need to enable the power of the I/O expander to which the LED is connected to and also enable the power to the 5V DCDC converter. 5V power line is powered by the **battery source** for which you can either use a power supply or a 3 cell LiPo battery to provide the required voltage. +The Edge Control board uses an I/O expander in order to increase the number of digital control signals. If we want to blink the on-board LED we would need to enable the power of the I/O expander to which the LED is connected to and also enable the power to the 5V DCDC converter. 5V power line is powered by the **battery source** for which you can either use a power supply or a SLA battery to provide the required voltage. The `Power` class provides API access to enable the different voltages on the board. In this tutorial we need to enable the 3.3V and 5V power lines using the `enable3V3()` and `enable5V()` functions.
