If you connect a pushbutton and add another line of code, you can tell the led to turn on only when the button is pressed. Tutorial to install grlb on arduino uno using the arduino ide software. This implementation avoids using division since 8bit avr used for arduino has no hardware div instruction, the compiler translate division into timeconsuming repetitive subtractions.
Moreover, other things may be needed by the stdstring implementation, so lots of dependencies to manage, or a code source size too big for arduino. Improved serial debugging to arduino, with with debug levels and simple software debugger, to seechange global variables, to add watch for these variables, or call a function, in runtime, using serial monitor or serialdebugapp. Once you have the array initialised, you can use strcat to add to it.
