<p class='vspace'></p><h2>micros()</h2>
 | 
						|
<h4>Description</h4>
 | 
						|
<p>Returns the number of microseconds since the Arduino board began running the current program.  This number will overflow (go back to zero), after approximately 70 minutes.  On 16 <span class='wikiword'>MHz</span> Arduino boards (e.g. Duemilanove and Nano), this function has a resolution of four microseconds (i.e. the value returned is always a multiple of four).  On 8 <span class='wikiword'>MHz</span> Arduino boards (e.g. the <span class='wikiword'>LilyPad</span>), this function has a resolution of eight microseconds.
 | 
						|
</p>
 | 
						|
<p class='vspace'></p><p><em>Note</em>: there are 1,000 microseconds in a millisecond and 1,000,000 microseconds in a second.

<p class='vspace'></p><h4>Parameters</h4>
 | 
						|
<p>None
 | 
						|
</p>
 | 
						|
<p class='vspace'></p><h4>Returns</h4>
 | 
						|
<p>Number of microseconds since the program started (<em>unsigned long</em>)
 |

						|
<p class='vspace'></p><h4>Example</h4>
