Arduino millis Blink Without Delay Example

Blink LED without delay().

Wiring

Check pinout, power supply, common GND and voltage levels before connecting the module.

Full code

const int ledPin = 13;
unsigned long previousMillis = 0;
const unsigned long interval = 1000;
bool ledState = LOW;

void setup() {
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  unsigned long now = millis();
  if (now - previousMillis >= interval) {
    previousMillis = now;
    ledState = !ledState;
    digitalWrite(ledPin, ledState);
  }
}

How it works

This lesson matches the page title and gives a clean starting point for this exact example.

Common mistakes

Check board selection, wiring, libraries, power supply and serial monitor baud rate.

Frequently asked questions
