​Blinking LED (Arduino)

​Brief

Experiment with creating different patterns of blinking LED. You can use Morse code, you can try to recreate a musical rhythm, or any other familiar patters. Use buttons and potentiometers to modify and control the execution of your code. Create 3 of those rhythmic patterns and capture their execution and modification on video for documentation.

 For the button, I use millis() To perform the blinking LED without using the delay() Function.

-Reading a push-button to determine the rate at which the LED should blink.

- If I hold the push button down for x milliseconds, the LED will blink on and off every x milliseconds.
