The [[https://www.bluej.org/raspberrypi/led.html|LED Tutorial]] is where I started, and I had to tweak the code so that I didn't get a **GpioPinExistsException.**  I added a ''finalize()'' method 


=====LED class===== 
I am using ''RaspiPin.GPIO_25'' since chose to wire my LED to physical pin 37, aka  ''BCM GPIO 26''\\
