Quick Steps

  • Install ezLED library. See How To
  • Connect Arduino to PC via USB cable
  • Open Arduino IDE, select the right board and port
  • On Arduino IDE, Go to File Examples ezLED LEDBlinkInPeriod example
/* Created by ArduinoGetStarted.com This example code is in the public domain Tutorial page: https://arduinogetstarted.com/library/led/example/arduino-led-blink-in-period This example blinks LED: + blink 10 seconds + without using delay() function. This is a non-blocking example */ #include <ezLED.h> // ezLED library ezLED led(9); // create a LED object that attach to pin 9 void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); led.blinkInPeriod(250, 750, 10000); // 250ms ON, 750ms OFF, blink in 10 seconds, blink immediately //led.blinkInPeriod(250, 750, 10000, 1000); // 250ms ON, 750ms OFF, blink in 10 seconds, blink after 1 second } void loop() { led.loop(); // MUST call the led.loop() function in loop() if (led.getState() == LED_BLINKING) Serial.println("BLINKING"); else if (led.getState() == LED_IDLE) Serial.println("BLINK ENDED"); // To stop blinking immediately, call led.cancel() function }
