// Example of how to prevent a blink from going to sleep.
// This will keep blinking once per second until the battery goes dead. 
// Button click will show a red flash. Note that we are making fake button presses
// to avoid warm sleep, so you can not reliabily detect an actual button press but you can
// see clicks and long presses. 


void setup() {

  // No setup needed for this simple example!  

}

bool onFlag = false;

Timer nextChange;

void loop() {

  if (buttonSingleClicked()) {
    setColor( RED );      
    nextChange.set(250);   // Long enough to see
  }

      onFlag = false;
      nextChange.set(950);

      setColor(BLUE);
      onFlag = true; 
      nextChange.set(50);   
      
    }


  }

  // These two lines will postpone sleeping. The first one postpones cold sleep and
  // the second one postpones warm sleep. Note that this will also keep any neighbooring 
  // blinks from warm sleeping as well (they will still cold sleep).
