I am trying to use analog data to activate some function at certain level of analog value but the result is only go to blink2 function even though the analog value is higher than 400.
/*
Conditionals - If statement
This example demonstrates the use of if() statements.
It reads the state of a potentiometer (an analog input) and turns on an LED
only if the LED goes above a certain threshold level. It prints the analog value
regardless of the level.
The circuit:
* potentiometer connected to analog pin 0.
Center pin of the potentiometer goes to the analog pin.
side pins of the potentiometer go to +5V and ground
* LED connected from digital pin 13 to ground
* Note: On most Arduino boards, there is already an LED on the board
connected to pin 13, so you don't need any extra components for this example.

// These constants won't change:
const int analogPin = 0; // pin that the sensor is attached to
const int ledPin = 13; // pin that the LED is attached to
const int threshold = 200; // an arbitrary threshold level that's in the range of the analog input
const int medium = 400;
void setup() {
// initialize the LED pin as an output:
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
// initialize serial communications:
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
// read the value of the potentiometer:
int analogValue = analogRead(analogPin);
// if the analog value is high enough, turn on the LED:
if (analogValue > threshold) {
//Serial.println(analogValue, DEC)
blink2 ();
}
else if (analogValue > medium ) {
blink3 ();
}
else {
digitalWrite(ledPin,LOW);
}
// print the analog value:
Serial.println(analogValue, DEC);
}
void blink2() {
digitalWrite(ledPin,HIGH);
delay (500);
digitalWrite(ledPin,LOW);
delay (500);
digitalWrite(ledPin,HIGH);
delay (500);
digitalWrite(ledPin,LOW);
delay (500);
}
void blink3() {
digitalWrite(ledPin,HIGH);
delay (100);
digitalWrite(ledPin,LOW);
delay (100);
digitalWrite(ledPin,HIGH);
delay (100);
digitalWrite(ledPin,LOW);
delay (100);
digitalWrite(ledPin,HIGH);
delay (100);
digitalWrite(ledPin,LOW);
delay (1000);
}
And for the blink2 and blink3 function how can I make it shorter?
Pls help.
Thanks.
