Just tested it, and the led example worked here on my model B (commented 
out the B+ and uncommented the B part). Runned the delay example and the 
ACT LED blinked as expected.

I do not have a B+ or a PI 2 (yet) to test the B+ code, but by looking 
at the code it should be working too. Model B and B+ use different GPIOs 
(16 and 47, respectively) for the ACT LED, so it depends on which RPI 
you are using.
