Trying To Get Led To Blink 10 Times, Don't Know What's Wrong

trying to get led to blink 10 times, don't know what's wrong Other Hardware LEDs and Multiplexing peppermintt January 22, 2018, 10:08pm 1

const int LED = 13; int count = 0;

void setup() { pinMode (LED, OUTPUT);

} void blinkLED(int timeOn, int timeOff, int numBlinks) { for (count= 0; count <= numBlinks-1; count++) { digitalWrite(LED, HIGH); delay(timeOn); digitalWrite(LED, LOW); delay(timeOff); } }

void loop() { blinkLED(1000,1000,10); }

Nothing wrong with that code it works. Except of course it is not posted correctly, read How to use this forum

What is it doing that you don't want it to do?

Are you expecting it to stop after 10 blinks? No the loop function will repeat the blinks over and over.

It doesn't blink 10 times, it just keeps going and doesn't stop

Yes it will. The loop function does just that it loops.

Move this line

blinkLED(1000,1000,10);

from loop() into setup()

Or add

while(1) { }

To the end of the loop function.
