The random() function can be used to generate pseudo-random numbers: void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); } void loop() { long randomNumber = random(500); // Generate a random number between 0 and 499 Serial.println(randomNumber); randomNumber = random(100, 1000); // Genera...

If it is important for a sequence of numbers generated by random() to differ, it is a good idea to specify a seed with randomSeed(): void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); // If analog pin 0 is left unconnected, analogRead(0) will produce a // different random number each time the ...
