+  Blink without Delay
+
+  Turns on and off a light emitting diode (LED) connected to a digital pin,
+  without using the delay() function. This means that other code can run at the
+  same time without being interrupted by the LED code.
+
+  The circuit:
+  - Use the onboard LED.
+  - Note: Most Arduinos have an on-board LED you can control. On the UNO, MEGA
+    and ZERO it is attached to digital pin 13, on MKR1000 on pin 6. LED_BUILTIN
+    is set to the correct LED pin independent of which board is used.
+    If you want to know what pin the on-board LED is connected to on your
+    Arduino model, check the Technical Specs of your board at:
+    https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Products
