Today I started what is supposed to become a great Arduino career, but I'm already stumped. I may be going crazy, but shouldn't this code blink the LED on the Mega 2560?
void setup() {
pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
}
unsigned int count = 0;
void loop() {
if(count%2) digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW);
else digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH);
delay(1);
count++;
}
I know this is not elegant for a blinking LED, but this is a stripped down example for something else, where I need a counter and modulo operations on it. The 'Blink' program works, but this here doesn't.
delay()'s argument is measured in milliseconds (not seconds), so you probably want 1000 rather than 1 to observe the blinking!
delay(1000);
