How are you today hope all is well with you.Please I would like to ask what is the Arduino maximum continuous working hours.
Another question Can i use Arduino to work in a system for 24 hours per day.Thanks in advance.
I have got a few here that have been working for months non-stop, if that answers your question.
Many Thanks that's what i need .
As with any embedded electronics, you need to watch heat buildup if your machine is enclosed.
You also need to make sure the machine does the right thing if the power is interrupted and nobody is there to restart it.
If it is going to be running around for a bit, you need to make sure you can handle clock rollover (if you store the result of millis() in an int variable, it can go negative. If you use unsigned, it still will be reset to a lower value when the base rolls over). If your machine deals with outside clocks, you need to watch out for leap seconds (which happened recently).
Obviously any mechanical components like motors have their own issues if operated continuously.
