I would like to use a 4 LED pattern written line by line to work with a button, onboard or off board doesn't matter, the switch to another pattern using the same button. I am new to all of this stuff, mostly with a little knowledge of building and playing with the components, I am always lost when it comes to programming. I just need a general idea of how to switch from one pattern to the next.

 

I'd like the sequence to start with this:

// byTwos

while (true)

{

  led1.Write(true);

  led2.Write(false);

  led3.Write(false);

  led4.Write(true);

  Thread.Sleep(100);

  led1.Write(false);

  led2.Write(true);

  led3.Write(true);

  led4.Write(false);

  Thread.Sleep(100);

}

Hi kylebarker82, Check out the "pushing the button" video on the projects page (in the how-to section). That should get you started working with buttons. Welcome to the Netduino community, Chris

I've done that... I want it to cycle to another pattern when I push the button a second time...

Hi kyle,

Do you have much experience with C# or C-style languages already? If not, we can point out some primers. Try creating an int variable that can be seen from your whole class (class or global scope). Then change that int value whenever you detect a button press and display your LED pattern on its current value. Chris
