Reading Data FromArduino

[salimow]

Hello guys,

I am new to Arduino and i have recently tried to write a code to read from the serial port. I wrote a code to prompt the user to input data for the number of Red Led Blinks and the number of yellow Led Blinks inside the void loop. However, when I run my code I am able to input data for the red Led and quickly changes back to red led prompt again overlapping the prompt for the Amber

Serial.println("How Many Times Do You Want The Red Led To Be On? ");
while(Serial.available()==0){}
NumOfRedBlink= Serial.parseInt();

Serial.println("How Many Times Do You Want The Yellow Led To Be On? ");
while(Serial.available()==0){}
NumOfYellowBlink= Serial.parseInt();

That is my code

Take a close look at the line-ending setting of the serial monitor.

There is a simple user-input example in Planning and Implementing a Program

Getting input from users is actually one of the more complex programming tasks because there are a lot of issues to consider.

@OP
Look at the following diagram of Fig-1 for Serial Monitor; where, the 'Line ending tab' should be at 'No line ending' option.

Serial Monitor -- that you are expecting.
