colorLeds[i].blink()

Category:Circuit

Makes the color LEDs blink.

Toggles the color LEDs on and off at a rapid or slow pace depending on the interval chosen. The interval is just the amount of time (in milliseconds) between the blinks, making 50 a small number for a fast pace and 100 a big number for a slower pace. If you choose to leave the interval parameter empty, the color led will blink at a rate of 100 milliseconds by default.

Examples

Blink Shrinker

Increases the blink rate with each button press

var interval = 100;
onBoardEvent(buttonL, "press", function(event) {
  interval = interval - 5;
  colorLeds[0].blink(interval);
  colorLeds[1].blink(interval);
  colorLeds[2].blink(interval);
  colorLeds[3].blink(interval);
  colorLeds[4].blink(interval);
});


Alternating Blinks

Blinks every other led at a different interval

onBoardEvent(buttonL, "press", function(event) {
  colorLeds[0].blink(100);
  colorLeds[1].blink(50);
  colorLeds[2].blink(100);
  colorLeds[3].blink(50);
  colorLeds[4].blink(100);
});

onBoardEvent(buttonL, "press", function(event) {
  colorLeds[0].blink();
});

Syntax

colorLeds[index].blink(interval)
