The PULSOUT command described below is very important for controlling servos (which we will cover later), but it can also be used for turning LEDs on and off.

• The PULSOUT command described below is very important for controlling servos (which we will cover later), but it can also be used for turning LEDs on and off.

• PULSOUT

• PULSOUT Pin Duration – this command is used to set the specified Pin HIGH for a time equal to Duration multiplied by 2 μs (2 millionths of a second, or 2 microseconds). The max value for duration is 65535 (or for 65535x2 μs = 0.13107 seconds)

• Suppose that an LED (and resistor) is connected to output pin P4:

• PULSOUT 4 8 – the LED is lit for 8x2 μs = 16 μs
• PULSOUT 4 100 – the LED is lit for 100x2 μs = 0.2 ms (100 * 0.000002s = 0.0002)
• PULSOUT 4 5000 – the LED is lit for 5000x2 μs = 10 ms (5000 * 0.000002s = 0.01)

• Note that the following two programs will accomplish the same thing:
