loop()

Description

After creating a setup() function, which initializes and sets the initial values, the loop() function does precisely what its name suggests, and loops consecutively, allowing your program to change and respond. Use it to actively control the Arduino board.

Example Code

void setup() { // put your setup code here, to executed once: Serial.begin(9600); Serial.println("This is setup code"); } void loop() { // put your main code here, to run repeatedly: Serial.println("This is loop code"); delay(1000); }

The output on Serial Monitor:
