Parameters

none

Returns

nothing

Example

#include <Scheduler.h> int counter = 0 ;
int counter1 = 0 ; void setup ( )
{
  Serial.begin ( 9600 ) ;   Scheduler.startLoop (loop1) ;
} void loop ( ) {
 analogWrite ( 9 , counter) ;
 counter++;
 if (counter > 255 ) {
  counter = 0 ;
 }
 delay ( 33 ) ;
} void loop1 ( ) {
 if ( Serial.available ( ) ) {
    char c = Serial.read ( ) ;
    if (c== '0' ) {
      digitalWrite ( 2 , LOW ) ;
      Serial.println ( "Led turned off!" ) ;
    }
    if (c== '1' ) {
      digitalWrite ( 2 , HIGH ) ;
      Serial.println ( "Led turned on!" ) ;
    }
  }
 yield( ) ;
