If you upload and run this program, the LED connected to pin 13 should flash at the same rate as the LED on the Galileo. Here is a picture:

You'll need to add a similar bit of code to get the LEDs connected to pin 12 and 11. Add the following to the sketch on the IDE:

Here, you are replicating the code but connecting the LED connected to pin 13 to the variable led, the LED connected to pin 12 to the variable led1, and the LED connected to pin 13 to the variable led3.
