Two loops/delay timers

Hi,

I'm trying to figure a way out to have two separate timers going in arduino. I have 9 outputs that are all on a sequence of on/off delays in the loop. I want to have a 10th output that is independent of the on/off delay loop of the first 9 so that while the first 9 are repeating the loop, the 10th output is set to its own rhythm. Is this possible or do I have to get a second Arduino?

Have a look at the Blink Without Delay example in the tutorials.

(I'm thinking of making that a keyboard macro)

You could use a library :slight_smile:
