5 Blink ~ Nick Stoermer

Five blink sequence

For the brute force it was pretty straight forward groups of on/off separated by delays. For the more effective method I ended up using encapsulation to have a blink function which I could then pass a variable which would define how many time it blinked. I then put this inside a for loop which controlled the variable that was passed. I realized that this project could have been done with  just nested for loops but for the purpose of learning the building blocks of Arduino this was more important.

/*

  Blink

 Turns on an LED on for one second, then off for one second, repeatedly.

 This example code is in the public domain.

// Pin 13 has an LED connected on most Arduino boards.

// give it a name:

int led = 13;

// the setup routine runs once when you press reset:

void setup() {                

  // initialize the digital pin as an output.

  pinMode(led, OUTPUT);     

}

// the loop routine runs over and over again forever:

void loop() {

  //1
