Shield questions

Ok, I am sorry for the noob questions but I have looked everywhere and can't find the coding for it.

I am using the sensor shield and I can't find the code for connecting shields to the buckled ports. The A0, A1.... ect. I don't know the coding to make them work. I am using all of the pre-made sensors that connect to them and I don't know where to look for the coding. Everything I have seen uses the basic arduino and sensors that you make.

Ok how do you make different loops. I need to make different leds blink at different rates. Like one led blink 2 times a second, another that blinks 5 times a second, ect. without having to do some weird timing thing.

If anyone can help that would be great.

anyone?? I figured out the analog thing.

I just need to know about the led loop timing.

Time to learn how to do "some weird timing thing". The Arduino has one loop function. It's an 8 bit micro-controller with an Atmel chip, not a quad-code 64 bit computer based on an Intel chip.

Take a look at this thread http://www.arduino.cc/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1272060457 where someone else wanted to blink multiple LEDs at different rates. It really isn't that hard if you think about it.

This chap worked through to get lots of flexibility over patterns, and speed control from a sensor

It is quite complex. It is like playing a flickbook of still images, which may be overkill for what you want to do.
