Code Club Electronics 8
So following on from the previous post. I had to look this up to remind myself how to specific a pin. Not used Arduino in a while. I found the following code as part of a stackoverflow post
However, in this, the two LEDs flash on and off alternately. Delay is set by a single line.
int delayPeriod = 1000;
So this is more so I can learn how to specify a pin.
int ledPin = 12;
int ledPin2 = 13;
int delayPeriod = 1000;
void setup()
{
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
pinMode(ledPin2, OUTPUT);
}
void loop()
{
digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);
digitalWrite(ledPin2,LOW);
delay(delayPeriod);
digitalWrite(ledPin2, HIGH);
digitalWrite(ledPin,LOW);
delay(delayPeriod);
//delayPeriod = delayPeriod - 10;
}
In the video, I am just changing a single line of code to cause the delay.
Timings are in milliseconds or seconds

Just having a look at an Arduino add-on board, that has various inputs and outputs built in. The following code (from the default IDE library) flashes an LED on and off. The delays can be changed within the code.
/*
Blink
Turns an LED on for one second, then off for one second, repeatedly.
Most Arduinos have an on-board LED you can control. On the UNO, MEGA and ZERO
it is attached to digital pin 13, on MKR1000 on pin 6. LED_BUILTIN is set to
the correct LED pin independent of which board is used.
If you want to know what pin the on-board LED is connected to on your Arduino
model, check the Technical Specs of your board at:

*/
// the setup function runs once when you press reset or power the board
void setup() {
// initialize digital pin LED_BUILTIN as an output.
pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
}
// the loop function runs over and over again forever
void loop() {
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH); // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
delay(100); // wait for 100 milli seconds
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW); // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
delay(100); // wait for 250 milli seconds
}
The video just shows the last section of code and what happens when the delay is changed.
Timings are in milliseconds or seconds
e.g.
1000 ms = 1 second
2000 ms = 2 seconds
100 ms = 0.1 seconds
250ms = 0.250 seconds (¼ second)
500ms = 0.500 seconds (½ second)
