/*
Arrays three leds
Demonstrates the use of an array to hold pin numbers in order to iterate over
the pins in a sequence. Lights multiple LEDs in sequence, then in reverse.
Unlike the For Loop tutorial, where the pins have to be contiguous, here the
pins can be in any random order.
The circuit:
- LEDs from pins 2 through 7 to ground
