Hi I have tried my best to get this code to start with a button push. I am hoping to be able to repeat the sequence with a button push at any time.
I am building a model. There are several lights on. when the button is pushed, I want the code to run-turn off some lights, turn others on at the same time, than after 10 seconds (or so), the lights come back on one at a time, the others just turned on go off. This code works the way I want it on my Arduino Mega. But i have tried all kinds of button codes, libraries and made up stuff, but it won't go. The primary problem is the timing trigger that I want to start with the button goes no matter if the button is pushed or not. I am stuck. This looks like it should be so easy, but there is something that I am just not getting.
This is the code that I worked out. (The "drydock" LEDs should be in an array, but one step at a time.) You can see things that I have tried commented out). I also know that the redundant "redPin"s need not be there. Thanks.
