- A more elaborated description how to use it
- write a playground article for example.
- use zip for compression (as not everyone has rar)

Tks frind... I improve..

[Reply #3 on:]

- some sample code
- information if it is usable for older versions of Arduino e.g. 0.22

Nice, but what about millis buffer owerflow after 50 days?
Asking because I try it with micros and there is only 70 minutes to owerflow...

if handled carefully by using subtractions one can circumvent most overflow failures.

give this code a (75 minute) try and you will see it works as expected (add setup and loop of course)

Code:

uint32_t now = micros();
if (now - lastDisplay >= 1000000UL)
{
   lastDisplay = now;
   lcd.print("blablabla");
}
