- Have a main loop without any delays.
- Read the photoresistor at every loop.
- Store the time stamp every time the led was switched/changed in a variable.
- Switch/toggle the led when the (current time - last time > threshold).
Is it possible to control/read Arduino pins at different frequencies?

Hello,
The attached code is meant to flash an RGB LED and record data from a photoresistor. Currently, the code flashes the LED on one line, and then records data from the analog chanel on the next line. Ideally, I would like to have parallel code that flashes the LEDs based on a specific duty cycle (e.g. 6 Hz flashes cycling red, green, and blue) but a higher sampling frequency for the photoresistor analog chanel (e.g. 30 Hz). Is this possible within MATLAB's paradigm of sequential code execution?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Parallel computation or multithreading is not supported by Arduino so flashing the LED and reading the Photo Resistor at different frequency would not be possible.
However I can think of a work around, if you try to implement the logic such that
This is obviously not multi threading but since the execution frequency is high enough, it can be considered almost parallel for practical purpose.
Hope this helps !!
