Beginner trying to learn

Hi @gansiiiiiiiii ,

welcome to the arduino-forum.

Well done posting code as a code-section in your very first posting.

The function delay() should have the name

freeze_microcontroller_COMPLETELY_stop_ALL_code_execution_until_freezing_time_is_over()

You have two for-loops() that repeat 180 times and wait 15 milliseconds in each iteration.
This means executing the two for-loops needs

2 * 180 * 0.015 Seconds = 5.4 seconds.
So only once and for a very hsort moment your code

@gansiiiiiiiii

 Speed = analogRead(A0);
  Speed = map(Speed, 0, 500, 0, 180);
  ESC.write(Speed);

gets executed and then your code is "pausing" again for 5.4 seconds.
This is called blocking code

Here is a link that visualises how your code works and how the cod emust be modified to make the loop non-blocking.

Explaining how to write NON-blocking all time responsive code

Hi Everybody, from time to time I enjoy writing tutorials in my kind and style. My intention is to make it easy to understand. Though I'm aware: of the fact that one way of explaining things is not the best way for everybody. that the best experts about easyness-to-understand are: beginners . I want to encourage especially beginners to ask whatever question comes to their mind. I will use these questions as suggestion to improve the tutorial to become even more easy to understand. The u…

And you have to combine this with non-blocking timing

Example-code for timing based on millis() easier to understand through the use of example-numbers / avoiding delay()

non-blocking timing. Execute code only from time to time. There are a lot of different ways to learn programming. This thread wants to add another approach that is different to the yet existing ones. UPDATE 06.01.2023 if you are mainly interested in applying non-blocking timing you can do a quick read of this short tutorial / demonstration If you are intersted in understanding the details how it works go on reading here. I use an everyday analogon in this post to explain the basic principle …
