Hi, I have googled for good part of day but i am unable to find my desired solution. All i want to do is add 1 after every 2 seconds (time driven by millis not delays)
Problem is after 2000ms additions continiually happens 1,2,3,4... non stop
instead of once per 2 seconds
int i;
unsigned long previoustime;
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
unsigned long currenttime = millis();
if (currenttime - previoustime >= 2000) {
++i;
previoustime = currenttime;
}
Serial.print("i");
Serial.println(i);
}
I assume by this you mean you edited your original post. You should never do that
unless for something that does not change you code. I makes UKHeliBob appear
to not be able to read simple code. Not nice.
ok, its working now, i dont know what caused the error as i was also using previoustime-currenttime before
So, you took UKHeliBob's advice, changed your code, it started working, and you don't know what the error was?
Amazing.

I apologize, it was never my intention, (perhaps lack of experience on forums).
As i said i was adding previoustime = currenttime, Afterwards I tried to recreate the problem but magically everything appears to be working and made me think that i may not have tried enough, as i dont want to waste good people time helping here on forums.
chill.
