Hello again, and thank you for the replies, much appreciated. Sorry for the vague blink description, I was trying to keep it light(no pun intended) :D.. Anyway, what I mean by blink is an LED being high--delay--low..
Here is the code I am slowly modifying. It is the button example from the libraries. Once the button is engaged I want the LED to blink once, then stay low while that button is engaged. After the button is disengaged, then engaged again the LED will blink once, then back to where we were...
Thank you again.... 8)
const int buttonPin = 2; // the number of the pushbutton pin
const int ledPin = 13; // the number of the LED pin
// variables will change:
int buttonState = 0; // variable for reading the pushbutton status
void setup() {
// initialize the LED pin as an output:
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
// initialize the pushbutton pin as an input:
pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT);
}
void loop(){
// read the state of the pushbutton value:
buttonState = digitalRead(buttonPin);
// check if the pushbutton is pressed.
// if it is, the buttonState is HIGH:
if (buttonState == HIGH) {
// turn LED on:
digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);
delay(200);
digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);
}
else {
// turn LED off:
digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);
}
}
