<p class='vspace'></p><h2>delay()</h2>
|
||
|
|
<h4>Description</h4>
|
||
|
|
<p>Pauses the program for the amount of time (in miliseconds) specified as parameter. (There are 1000 milliseconds in a second.)
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p class='vspace'></p><h4>Syntax</h4>
|
||
|
|
<p>delay(ms)
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p class='vspace'></p><h4>Parameters</h4>
|
||
|
|
<p>ms: the number of milliseconds to pause (<em>unsigned long</em>)
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p class='vspace'></p><h4>Returns</h4>
|
||
|
|
<p>nothing
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p class='vspace'></p><h4>Example</h4>
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
int ledPin = 13; // LED connected to digital pin 13
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
void setup()
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // sets the digital pin as output
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
void loop()
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); // sets the LED on
|
||
|
|
delay(1000); // waits for a second
|
||
|
|
digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); // sets the LED off
|
||
|
|
delay(1000); // waits for a second
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
<p class='vspace'></p><h4>Caveat</h4>
|
||
|
|
<p>While it is easy to create a blinking LED with the delay() function, and many sketches use short delays for such tasks as switch debouncing, the use of delay() in a sketch has significant drawbacks. No other reading of sensors, mathematical calculations, or pin manipulation can go on during the delay function, so in effect, it brings most other activity to a halt. For alternative approaches to controlling timing see the <a class='wikilink' href='Millis.html'>millis()</a> function and the sketch sited below. More knowledgeable programmers usually avoid the use of delay() for timing of events longer than 10's of milliseconds unless the Arduino sketch is very simple.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p class='vspace'></p><p>Certain things <em>do</em> go on while the delay() function is controlling the Atmega chip however, because the delay function does not disable interrupts. Serial communication that appears at the RX pin is recorded, PWM (<a class='wikilink' href='AnalogWrite.html'>analogWrite</a>) values and pin states are maintained, and <a class='wikilink' href='AttachInterrupt.html'>interrupts</a> will work as they should.
