Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Modify the LED blink program to flash a sequence of three quick flashes followed by a pause of 2 seconds. Implement this in C/C++.

💡 Hint: Consider how you can use loops to achieve the quick flashes.

Challenge 2 Hard

Design a program that uses an interrupt to start and stop an LED from blinking. Describe the steps involved.

💡 Hint: Think about how interrupts control program execution and how you can use a flag to manage the LED state.
