/* Blink without Delay Turns on and off a light emitting diode (LED) connected to a digital pin, without using the delay() function. This means that other code can run at the same time without being interrupted by the LED code. The circuit: * LED attached from pin 13 to ground. * Note: on most Arduinos, there is already an LED on the board that's attached to pin 13, so no hardware is needed for this example. created 2005 by David A.

Used here to set a pin number : const int ledPin = 13; // the number of the LED pin // Variables will change : int ledState = LOW; // ledState used to set the LED // Generally, you should use "unsigned long" for variables that hold time // The value will quickly become too large for an int to store unsigned long previousMillis = 0; // will store last time LED was updated // constants won't change : const long interval = 1000; // interval at which to blink (milliseconds) void setup() { // set the digital pin as output: pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); } void loop() { // here is where you'd put code that needs to be running all the time. // check to see if it's time to blink the LED; that is, if the // difference between the current time and last time you blinked // the LED is bigger than the interval at which you want to // blink the LED. unsigned long currentMillis = millis(); if(currentMillis - previousMillis >= interval) { // save the last time you blinked the LED previousMillis = currentMillis; // if the LED is off turn it on and vice-versa: if (ledState == LOW) ledState = HIGH; else ledState = LOW; // set the LED with the ledState of the variable: digitalWrite(ledPin, ledState); } }
