1.4.2 Running the Out-of-Box Demo

When connected to your computer, the LaunchPad development kit powers up and LED2 dims based on the amount of ambient light hitting the photo diode, D1. Use a light source such as a flashlight or desk lamp to illuminate D1 and the brightness of LED2 should increase depending on the intensity of the light source.
