/* Blinking LED
* ------------
*
* turns on and off a light emitting diode(LED) connected
to a digital
* pin, in intervals of 2 seconds. Ideally we use pin 13
on the Arduino
* board because it has a resistor attached to it, needing
only an LED
Code
int ledPin = 13; // choose the pin for the LED
int inPin = 2; // choose the input pin (for a pushbutton)
int val = 0; // variable for reading the pin status
void setup() {
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // declare LED as output
pinMode(inPin, INPUT); // declare pushbutton as input
}
void loop(){
val = digitalRead(inPin); // read input value
if (val == HIGH) { // check if the input is HIGH (button
released)
digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); // turn LED OFF
} else {
digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); // turn LED ON
}
}
