15-second binary countdown timer

I was just playing around trying to get different LEDs to flash at different rates, so I created this.  I realized that if I set the delay to 1000 milliseconds, I could use it as a clock of sorts.

 

/*

*/

int greenLED = 13;

int redLED = 12;

int blueLED = 11;

int whiteLED = 10;

int flash = 1000;

 

 

void setup() {

  // initialize digital pin 13 as an output.

  pinMode(13, OUTPUT); //green

  pinMode(12, OUTPUT); //red

  pinMode(11, OUTPUT); //blue

  pinMode(10, OUTPUT); //white

}

 

 

void loop() {

  for(int x = 0; x < 8; x++){

    if(x==0){

      digitalWrite(10, HIGH);

      digitalWrite(13,HIGH);

      digitalWrite(12,HIGH);

      digitalWrite(11,HIGH);

      delay(flash);

      digitalWrite(11,LOW);

      delay(flash);         

    } else if(x==1){

      digitalWrite(12,LOW);

      digitalWrite(11,HIGH);

      delay(flash);

      digitalWrite(11,LOW);

      delay(flash);

    } else if(x==2){

      digitalWrite(13, LOW);

      digitalWrite(12, HIGH);

      digitalWrite(11, HIGH);

      delay(flash);

      digitalWrite(11, LOW);

      delay(flash);

    } else if(x==3){

      digitalWrite(12, LOW);

      digitalWrite(11, HIGH);

      delay(flash);

      digitalWrite(11, LOW);

      delay(flash);

    } else if(x==4){

      digitalWrite(10, LOW);

      digitalWrite(13,HIGH);

      digitalWrite(12,HIGH);

      digitalWrite(11,HIGH);

      delay(flash);

      digitalWrite(11,LOW);

      delay(flash);         

    } else if(x==5){

      digitalWrite(12,LOW);

      digitalWrite(11,HIGH);

      delay(flash);

      digitalWrite(11,LOW);

      delay(flash);

    } else if(x==6){

      digitalWrite(13, LOW);

      digitalWrite(12, HIGH);

      digitalWrite(11, HIGH);

      delay(flash);

      digitalWrite(11, LOW);

      delay(flash);

    } else if(x==7){

      digitalWrite(12, LOW);

      digitalWrite(11, HIGH);

      delay(flash);

      digitalWrite(11, LOW);

      delay(flash);

    }

}

    Hi Ken! There is an Ínsert Video'button in the editor, if you use that, the system will upload your video, and auto-convert it so that it appears as an embedded window in the browser when people view this…

    On my screen it appears the video is there.   I am not sure how to release it to have others see it.   Let me figure this out, please.  I should have it soon.  (A while later) I can't seem to see how to get it done.   There's a link that appears at the bottom of the code.   Do you see it, John?

     

    Cheers,

     

    Ken
