Hi all,

how do i write a function to say after a few loops turn another led on? i.e. if the LED blinks 5 times turn LED1 on to run simultaneously.

void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200); // Initialise Serial to 115200
pinMode(vibration_Sensor, INPUT);
pinMode(LED, OUTPUT);
pinMode(LED1, OUTPUT);
}

/*

  • main_loop
    */

void loop() {

previous_condition = present_condition;
present_condition = digitalRead(A5); // Reading digital data from the A5 Pin of the Arduino.

if (previous_condition != present_condition) {
led_blink();

} else {
digitalWrite(LED, OFF);
//Serial.println (" LED is OFF ");

}
void led_blink(void) {
digitalWrite(LED, ON);
delay(250);
digitalWrite(LED, OFF);
delay(250);
digitalWrite(LED, ON);
delay(250);
digitalWrite(LED, OFF);
delay(250);
}

Just count how many times your code executes the blink function. Use a global variable which is increased inside the blink function. Then add an if statement in your loop to test if the counter got higher than your threshold value (5 for example).
