5 min of delay

[ykn]

hi all,
 i new one with Arduin o, i want to execute the function after a 5min delay.
so how to make 5 min delay.
thanks
like.
if(sensor == 0)
{
  while(1)
  {
    gps();
     delay(2000)
    getltlg();
    delay(1000);
    tracking();
    delay(1000);
    delay of 5 min;
  }
}

Look at the included example in the IDE called Digital --> Blink Without Delay

[J-M-L]

what do you think delay(1000); does ?

[ykn]

it provides 1 sec delay

[ieee488]

it provides 1 sec delay

Using delay() is blocking code.

Using delay() is blocking code.

of course - but he does not need anything else apparently (although once he tested his sensor there is no way to exit his while)

[J-M-L]

it provides 1 sec delay

so if you wanted 5 minutes?

That's what he thinks now. :-)
There is always something else. These newbies have grand plans.

Hi ykn,

Welcome..

Please use the code tag when posting codes.

delay ( 1000 );  //<----- This is a second delay..

what if ?

delay ( 1000 * 5UL );  // <---- Would this provide a 5 second worth of delay?


Anyway looking forward... Please limit the use of delay in your code... Thank you

everyone needs a grand plan !!      

(you are conceptually right for a solid approach of course)

[ sir i need 5 min delay]

[J-M-L]

How many milliseconds there are in 5 minutes?

[ykn]

i want to write a code for GPS location that send the Latitude and longitude after each 5 min , when the button is pressed.
i am confused how to make 5 min delay.
please suggest me

[ykn]

delay(1000*60*5);
is it work??

[Gabriel_swe]

Yes Sir! Or you can do the calculation yourself. 5 minutes is 300 seconds.
delay(300000);

If you want something crazy like 24 hours delay,  you can use delay(86400000);
