Are there any other functions in the Arduino function regime like SerialEvent that can be used after loop ? I'm gradually going through the libraries but it's a manually intensive process.

Many. Serial - Arduino Reference

what kind of "serial event" are you looking for?

@jremington , I suspect that you misunderstood. This is not specific to Serial and my understanding is if there are predefinedfunctions that can be used outside loop(). @greywolf271 And I think that the answer is that there are no others except for the ones for UARTs (serialEvent, serialEvent1, ser…

I'll elaborate on my question. What I meant to ask was are there anymore general functions similar to SerialEvent that will run outside of Loop(), not specifically related to serial data. :confounded: Hope that is a little better of an explanation.

Thanks, I'll do more reading on that.

Also, I found [image] Why there is no main() function ? Programming Hi there ! I've been programming microcontrolers with C language but I am new to Arduino. Using the example codes I notice that there is no main function, only setup and loop... Also, I've tried to cr…

[image] greywolf271: above matters discussed. AFAIR Arduino still has a main() function, hidden by the IDE. Locate it and add your functions there. Or split your loop() into multiple functions, then it does not matter whether the functions are called from main() or from loop(). IMO this solu…

State more clearly by example what you are trying to do. You can have tasks in an interrupt service routine which run asynchronously with the loop. You can also have pseudo multi-tasking such as in a finite state machine model. The answer is almost certainly yes you can do it, whatever it is you …

If you really want to, you can even replace the main() function with your own, then you can place anything you want outside of any loop() like function you create. Note that serialEvent() is not implemented on all Arduino boards, and I have seen comments that suggest it would be deprecated at some …

Any others like SerialEvent ?
