Hi everyone,
I was wondering how i would go about setting the output of one of the pins to HIGH after 3 hours?
Is there a wait function?
Thanks :wink:

pseudocode:

int x = 0;
digitalWrite(13, Low)

while (x!= 10800) //180min * 60sec
{
delay(1000); //wait for one second
x++;
}
digitalWrite(13, High)

There is a delay function.

can delay by itself to 180 minutes?
