12/6/2023 0 Comments Arduino millis source code![]() (currentTime - previousTime_2 >= eventInterval_2) Millis in using two different LED glowing in different time intervals.Ĭonst unsigned long eventInterval_1 = 5000 Ĭonst unsigned long eventInterval_2 = 2000 So in this way millis function works, now we will see example of Again value of millis will update to 2500, so currentTime. So condition will be satisfied and enter inside millis() function and print “IĪm inside millis” and value of currentTime which is 2000 will get transfer fromĬurrentTime to previousTime means value of previousTime will get update fromġ000 to 2000. PreviousTime >= eventInterval (2000– 1000 = 1000 = 1000) currentTime – previousTime is equal to eventTime. Again value of millis will update to 2000, so currentTime. PreviousTime >= eventInterval (1500– 1000 = 500 ≠ġ000) currentTime – previousTime is not equal to eventTime. Means value of previousTime will get update from 0 to 1000.Īgain value of millis will update to 1500, so currentTime. Inside millis() function and print “I am inside millis” and value ofĬurrentTime which is 1000 will get transfer from currentTime to previousTime PreviousTime is equal to eventTime now condition will get satisfied and enter Millis will update to 1000, so currentTime - previousTime >= eventInterval previousTime >= eventInterval (300 – 0 = 300 ≠ġ000) currentTime – previousTime is not equal to eventTime. ![]() again value of millis will update to 300, so currentTime Not equal to eventTime (1000), we have set eventTime to 1000 means event will Suppose first millis returns 100ms soĬurrentTime - previousTime >= eventInterval (100 – 0 = 100 ≠ 1000). Will check the condition in if statement. Value of millis in variable currentTime then we Millis rolls over and start counting from 0 again. millis can last Upton 49 days then after 49 days So here we understand why we avoid delays for multipleĮvents or task handling. Satisfied for LED 1, the delay affects both events in the timeline to occur due to itsīlocking the code nature. Sec) + LED 2 (2 sec) = 7 seconds means also LED 1 will turn ON after 7 secondsīut we want LED 1 to turn ON after 5 seconds hence condition will not ![]() We know in code inside void loop repeats continuously so delay from LED 1 (5 Time after 2 seconds hence events do not trigger on desire timeline also as Turn ON after 7 seconds but in our condition, we want to turn on LED 2 every so 5 seconds + 2 seconds = 7 seconds means seconds LED 2 will Will hold the program for 5 seconds LED 1 will turn ON then after 2 seconds LEDĢ will turn ON. Introduce a delay here then the delay will block the code means in the first case delay In the second event, we have to turn LED 2 ON after 2 seconds soĪgain we introduce a delay of 2-sec delay(2000) but the problem is that if we First, we have to turn LED 1 ONĪfter 5 seconds so we introduce a delay of 5 seconds delay(5000), Later we Will see these two tasks using the delay function. Suppose there are two events first is turning on LED 1 everyĪfter 5 seconds and the second event is turning LED 2 ON every 2 seconds. Runs in backgrounds without blocking code If you don’t about data types you can check my Arduino lesson.ĭifference between delay() function and millis() function delay() functionĭelay() receives parameter (time) in milliseconds ![]() Here we have unsigned long, it is the largest datatype for storing values. So the data type we need to store such a big value should also beīig. The maximum value return by millis function isĤ,29,4967,295. The answer is it has the amount of time in milliseconds fromįor one minute it returns 60,000 because in one minute we So the question is what will be the value inside the variable To access this millis() function we have to call it, thisįunction returns values which will be stored in variable name as the current time. Which keeps continuing track of counting the number of ticks. So millis function gives access to the timer/counter module The module starts over means it again starts from 0 (zero). The maximum day module count without interruption is 49 days. When you restart or turn off the Arduino the module startĬounting from 0. This module counts ticks from where Arduino is ON or get
