I feel like I’ve been looking for a couple of years for this solution and could never find it. Well I worked it out for myself so I thought I should post it so the answer can be found for others as it really does seem to be complete undocumented online.<\/p>\n
void setup(){ void loop(){ void ledBlinking(word led, int amount, int timeOn, int timeOff){ \/\/ set the variables used between loop and function So hopefully you see what I'm doing here. I'm telling the function in void loop to use the pin redLed and blueLed with a word (not a string) variable. The rest are simple integers holding the amount of flashes, and how long to hold them on and off for.<\/p>\n Simple when you know how, now on to the bigger project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I feel like I’ve been looking for a couple of years for this solution and could never find it.
