The Arduino CollectiveElectronics are fun!

After building up another sketch from scratch, I found the source of the problem from the last post.  Those sketches stored milliseconds in an int, and that just isn’t big enough.

So this:

// state for the led1 function
static int led1Millis;
static int led1State = LOW;

// state for the led2 function
static int led2Millis;
static int led2State = LOW;

Becomes this:

// state for the led1 function
static long led1Millis;
static int led1State = LOW;

// state for the led2 function
static long led2Millis;
static int led2State = LOW;

Now both versions work flawlessly. Now to make it do something interesting…
