Keep `delay` based approach while doing things concurrently with `proto_activities`

Running multiple waiting functions simultanously

CAN YOU SOLVE THIS CHALLENGE? I have been trying for a while to run SIMULTANOUSLY two or more functions, each function having multiple internal "waiting conditions". The waiting conditions are not important: they could be waiting for an external input, an internal event, etc. Since the most common waiting condition is time, I would like to write two functions that both wait for time internally, and make them run simultanously. For example: Say the first function sends an arbitrary str…

Timing utility: an alternative to delay()

A small timing utility: can be a non blocking replacement for delay(). The need: execute a function on a timed basis, without blocking the processor with delay(). Independant of the time taken by other running processes. Example of use: flash a led at 3 hertz rate while flashing a second led at 11 hertz, a third at 0,75 Hz, etc. The two main functions: startTimer() and checkTimer. Have fun! void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); } //-------------------------------------------------- int tickP…

Is there a non blocking delay that's as easy to use as the built in delay function?

i keep wondering why the built in standard 'delay ();' function hasn't been changed to a non blocking delay function. i can see when searching that there are many libraries / functions offered with non blocking delays, and i can vaguely remember a way of using the milli's function. But they all seem to need quite a few bits of code to use, I'd have thought it may be easier for beginners (and people like me who forget stuff) to be able to simply type something like : 'nonBlockingDelay (1000); …
