  • Open the 'Outputs' toolbox, where you stored the exported 'newLED' component.
  • 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.)
