// These variables store the flash pattern

// and the current state of the LED

// 1000ms=1s

// 16.6ms= 1/60th of 1 second, or one 60hz cycle.

// 8.3ms is half of on 60hz cycle

// so 8.3ms OnTime and 8.3ms OffTime adds up to a

// full cycle square wave at %50 duty

// As long as your on and off both add up to your

// desired frequency you should be good.
