Hi, I was trying to control 10 Leds with the arduino Through the serial monitor, does anybody know how ? Answered

I was wondering if i could modify this code so i could control the led's with the serial monitor, but i don't know how, Could somebody help?

int pin2 = 2;

int pin3 = 3;

int pin4 = 4;

int pin5 = 5;

int pin6 = 6;

int pin7 = 7;

int pin8 = 8;

int pin9 = 9;

int pin10 = 10;

int pin11 = 11;

int timer = 60;

void setup(){

pinMode(pin2, OUTPUT);

pinMode(pin3, OUTPUT);

pinMode(pin4, OUTPUT);

pinMode(pin5, OUTPUT);

pinMode(pin6, OUTPUT);

pinMode(pin7, OUTPUT);

pinMode(pin8, OUTPUT);

pinMode(pin9, OUTPUT);

pinMode(pin10, OUTPUT);

pinMode(pin11, OUTPUT);

}

void loop() {

digitalWrite(pin2, HIGH);

delay(timer);

digitalWrite(pin2, LOW);

delay(timer);

digitalWrite(pin3, HIGH);

delay(timer);

digitalWrite(pin3, LOW);

delay(timer);

digitalWrite(pin4, HIGH);

delay(timer);

digitalWrite(pin4, LOW);

delay(timer);

digitalWrite(pin5, HIGH);

delay(timer);

digitalWrite(pin5, LOW);

delay(timer);

digitalWrite(pin6, HIGH);

delay(timer);

digitalWrite(pin6, LOW);

delay(timer);

digitalWrite(pin7, HIGH);

delay(timer);

digitalWrite(pin7, LOW);

delay(timer);

digitalWrite(pin8, HIGH);

delay(timer);

digitalWrite(pin8, LOW);

delay(timer);

digitalWrite(pin9, HIGH);

delay(timer);

digitalWrite(pin9, LOW);

delay(timer);

digitalWrite(pin10, HIGH);

delay(timer);

digitalWrite(pin10, LOW);

delay(timer);

digitalWrite(pin11, HIGH);

delay(timer);

digitalWrite(pin11, LOW);

delay(timer);

digitalWrite(pin10, HIGH);

delay(timer);

digitalWrite(pin10, LOW);

delay(timer);

digitalWrite(pin9, HIGH);

delay(timer);

digitalWrite(pin9, LOW);

delay(timer);

digitalWrite(pin8, HIGH);

delay(timer);

digitalWrite(pin8, LOW);

delay(timer);

digitalWrite(pin7, HIGH);

delay(timer);

digitalWrite(pin7, LOW);

delay(timer);

digitalWrite(pin6, HIGH);

delay(timer);

digitalWrite(pin6, LOW);

delay(timer);

digitalWrite(pin5, HIGH);

delay(timer);

digitalWrite(pin5, LOW);

delay(timer);

digitalWrite(pin4, HIGH);

delay(timer);

digitalWrite(pin4, LOW);

delay(timer);

digitalWrite(pin3, HIGH);

delay(timer);

digitalWrite(pin3, LOW);

delay(timer);

Yes, Here's one method, it will allow you to put any combination of 10 LEDs on or off at once

Fasten all the LEDs to the Arduino pins.
Read a number from the serial port

if ( (number&1)==1) led1=1 else led1=0;

if ((number&2)==2) led2=1 else led2 =0;

if ((number&4)==4) led3=1 else led3 =0;

if ((number&8)==8) led4=1 else led4 =0;

if ((number&16)==16) led5=1 else led5 =0;

if ((number&32)==32) led6=1 else led6 =0;

if ((number&64)==64) led7=1 else led7 =0;

if ((number&128)==128) led8=1 else led8 =0;

if ((number&256)==256) led9=1 else led9 =0;

if ((number&512)==512) led10=1 else led10 =0;

There are other ways, but this is the easiest method for a beginner.

Need lots more information here. What code are you using? What LEDs are you using? How do you have everything wired?
