# Example 2: Serial Triggering

This example uses the same setup for the arduino.  The arduino listens to a serial port on your computer  with a baud rate of 9600bps. Each time a value of 1 is sent to the serial port a trigger pulse is generated.

```
/*
  Trigger and blink on serial command.
*/


// the setup function runs once when you press reset or power the board
void setup() {
  pinMode(9, OUTPUT);
  Serial.begin(9600);
  Serial.write("Extender Trigger Example \n")
}

// the loop function runs forever
void loop()
{
  if (Serial.available() > 0)
  {
    int value = Serial.read();
    Serial.write(value);
    if (value == 1) {
        digitalWrite(9, HIGH);
        delay(100);                          	
        digitalWrite(9, LOW);                                  
    }
    
    else {
      Serial.write("Undefined Input\n"); 
    }
  }
}

```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://emotiv.gitbook.io/extender-manual/hardware_triggering/example-2-serial-triggering.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
