Reaction time Mega R3 extremely slow

Read this before posting a programming question

For instance the touch sensor, when i look at the serial monitor i have a reaction time of 3900ms ...

Do you have this in your code?

delay (3899);

Without seeing it, of course, we can't tell.

We can't help you unless you post your code.

I realy hope someone can help me out..

The problem is probably in your code.

yes it was the code...

in the example code of the capacitive sensor there are 3 inputs, i only wired 1 of them so it always timed out on the other two....

next time i'll wait a week before i'll post..

thanks to all who replied!

And now let's continue the witty banter XD

OK, no worries - glad you found it.
Sorry if that was a bit rough - belated welcome.

Wait, what if I come here only for the witty banter?

Somehow the msg got mangled. Too subtle, maybe. The moderator is named HAL. To a new
poster on their very "first" post, someone should say, click on the # icon and display your code,

code goes here

fix comes here.

Wait, what if I come here only for the witty banter?

  1. wait.
  2. go to 1.

I left the Basic language behind long ago, probably before you were born, but thanks anyway. :wink:

while( 1 ) ;

oric_dan(333):
while( 1 ) ;

Warning bug! I suspect you were suggesting I should just while(1) {}

Lefty

.... . .-.. .--. -- .

while(1); compiles fine.

oric_dan(333):
.... . .-.. .--. -- .

while(1); compiles fine.

That is why a called it a bug not an error, it doesn't end up waiting for any length of time.

oric_dan(333):

  1. wait.
  2. go to 1.
while (true)
  delay (1000);

being that it's lefty,

void setup() {  wait();  }
void loop() { }
void wait() {  while(1) wait(); }

I need the code!
