No Parts Arduino Stroboscope - Control LED Blink rate with Serial Monitor

In this post I'm coding for Arduino program that can control blink rate of an LED.

I tried to make it very simple.

Here you can see minimum hardware used:

Arduino UNO
Arduino USB cable
White LED
Laptop with Arduino IDE


I chose Arduino UNO from the drop down menu.






Then opened Blink example.

And then I got the code that reads serial monitor to control LED and changed it to control blink rate.


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



 */





int led = 8;
int MyDelay = 50 ;
// the setup routine runs once when you press reset:
void setup() {                
  // initialize the digital pin as an output.
  pinMode(led, OUTPUT); 
  pinMode(13, OUTPUT); 
  digitalWrite(13, LOW);  
  
  Serial.begin(9600);
  while (!Serial);
  Serial.println("Input 1 to increase delay on and 2 to decrease delay ");
}
  void change_rate() {
  
      if (Serial.available())
  {
    int state = Serial.parseInt();
    if (state == 1)
    {

     if(MyDelay < 1000 ) 
     MyDelay = MyDelay + 10 ; 
      
     Serial.println("Command completed delay increases");
    }
    if (state == 2)
    {
      
      
     if(MyDelay > 0 )  
     MyDelay = MyDelay - 10  ;
     Serial.println("Command completed delay decreases");
    }  
  }
    
    
    
}

// the loop routine runs over and over again forever:
void loop() {
  
  change_rate();
  
  digitalWrite(led, HIGH);   // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
  delay(10);               // wait for a second
  digitalWrite(led, LOW);    // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
  delay(MyDelay);               // wait for a second
  
  
  
  
  
}
