I'm very new to the Arduino arena. I've been following Paul Mcwhorters lessons on youtube to try and figure out and understand the programming etc.
This is probably something easy and I have overlooked something stupid.
At any rate.. my bread board had 2 blinking LEDs.. as soon as I added the 2 codes for Serial and uploaded my 2 lights went solid and I haven't been able to figure out why. I have read, and reread the code for any type of error. I also compared mine against his and saw that it looked identical and his LEDs remained blinking.
I know this is a noob thing.. but any insight as to what I've missed would help.
Thanks.
int redLED=0; //declaring my red led as an int, and i set it to 0
int yellowLED=1; //declaring my yellow led as an int, and i set it to 1
int redOnTime=900; // this is the red LED on time
int redOffTime=900; // this is the red LED off time
int yellowOnTime=900; // this is the yellow LED on time
int yellowOffTime=900; // this is the yellow LED off time
int numYellowBlinks=5; // Numer of times blink yellow LED
int numRedBlinks=5; //number of times to blink red LED
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
pinMode(redLED, OUTPUT);
pinMode(yellowLED, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
for (int j=1; j<=numRedBlinks; j=j+1) { //start for our loop
Serial.println(j);
digitalWrite(redLED, HIGH); //TURN THE RED LED ON
delay(redOnTime); // wait
digitalWrite(redLED, LOW); // turn the red LED off
delay(redOffTime); // wait
}
for (int j=1; j<=numYellowBlinks; j=j+1) { //start for our loop
digitalWrite(yellowLED, HIGH); //Turn the yellow LED on
delay(yellowOnTime); //wait
digitalWrite(yellowLED, LOW); // Turn the yellow LED off
delay(yellowOffTime); //Wait
}
