- Open a new Flowcode flowchart.
- Ensure that the System Panel is visible. If not use the View menu.
- The following assumes that you have built, and exported a LED component, as described in Exercise - Create a LED component and Exercise - Exporting the LED component.
- Open the 'Outputs' toolbox, where you stored the exported 'newLED' component. (If no destination was specified for the exported component, it would appear in the 'Misc' toolbox.)
- Locate the 'newLED' component, and use the down-arrow next to it to add it to the System Panel.
- Click on the LED to select it. Change the 'color' property to orange (e.g. 0x0080FF).
- Using the Panel Properties, with the LED still selected, set its 'Position' to X=0, Y=0, Z=16, and its 'Scale' to 'Wi...'=1, 'He...'=1, 'De...'=0.25.
- The component should resemble the picture opposite, (depending on the 'camera' zoom.)
