BlinkMask mm

Uses the value mm to determine the cadence used for all outputs that receive or have received the Blink instruction.

mm is treated as a binary mask. Each bit represents a 200mS interval. For example, if mm=%10110010 the blink pattern will become:

200mS ON

200mS OFF

400mS ON

400mS OFF

200mS ON

200mS OFF

... repeat ...

Note that the one BlinkMask setting applies to all outputs that are blinking. That includes outputs that are blinking when a new BlinkMask is set. The default setting is %11001100
