💻 Sample Arduino Code Snippet


#define MIST_PIN 5
#define LED_PIN 18

void setup() {
  pinMode(MIST_PIN, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(LED_PIN, OUTPUT);
  digitalWrite(MIST_PIN, LOW); // Start off
}

void loop() {
  digitalWrite(MIST_PIN, HIGH); // Mist ON
  delay(10000); // 10 sec on
  digitalWrite(MIST_PIN, LOW);  // Mist OFF
  delay(30000); // 30 sec rest
}
