So, the problem is that I don’t know why the number of lines for the simplest code is more than 2000. I’ve planned a simple sketch for one led with one node, then I’d like to copy the code and paste it to Tinkercad in order to check its working process, but I received 2000 lines, when this code can be written in 20,so how to extract particular my code

XOD is a graphical programming model that abstracts out programming details and logic flow. It is not going to output optimized code. There is an entire framework needed to make those abstractions work.
