MicroPython: LED

from machine import Pin
from time import sleep

led = Pin(16, Pin.OUT)  # 16 is the internal LED for NodeMCU

# The internal LED turn on when the pin is LOW
while True:
    led.high()
    sleep(1)
    led.low()
    sleep(1)

Here is the reason why the built in led turn on when Pin 16 is Low :)
