easiestBlink

// Program name: easiestBlink05
//
// Purpose: Blinks onboard LED
//
// Program operation/flow:
// a function to blink onboard LED a set of some number of 'long' blinks of some duration
// followed by a set of some number of 'short' blinks of some duration,
// The function can be placed at end of setup to run once each reset or in loop to repeat
//
// Hardware configuration:
// uses on-board LED, in most cases output 13
// ------------------------------

// ******************** GLOBALS ********************

int ledPin = 13;

// ********************* USER PREFERENCES SET HERE:

// number of blinks
int numLongs = 2; // number of long blinks

// time variables

int betweenLongs = 450; // pause between blinks
int afterLongs = 600; // pause after the set

int betweenShorts = 175; // pause between blinks
int afterShorts = 600; // pause after short blinks

int afterAll = 1000; // end of loop before restart
