  • 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. It can now be used in the same way as any other electronic device.


What next?

Create a flowchart which uses the imported component, and then test the imported component in simulation to ensure it works properly
