Flashing LED widgets

Need Help With My Project
1

Hey guys, I’m attempting to make the LED widgets in my project flash at different rates depending on the severity of the warning. I’ve looked around the previous LED topics but nothing seems to implement the way I have it. I’ve managed to enable differing colours depending on the warning but now I want them to flash. All this takes place at the bottom of each sensor data within void sensor.

Thanks in advance for any help
