*
* This example blinks an LED:
* + with frequency changed according to the state of a button
. if button is NOT pressed, blink slowly
. if button is pressed, blink fast
* + without using delay() function. This is a non-blocking example

if(buttonState == HIGH) // button is not pressed
led.blink(500, 500); // 500 milliseconds ON, 500 milliseconds OFF
else // button is pressed
