Hi there, I am a newbie in arduino. I would like to ask for this function --> millis() I saw the code they divided this function with 1000 then they get 1s ? I thought mili is 10 to the power of -3 ? Thank you

I divide by 1000 that having unit of ms/s ? btw, isnt that 1000 ms = 1s ?

Yes. You are just doing a unit conversion. 1Second/1000mS = 1 so you can multiply (anything * 1) = anything, yes? 1560mS * 1 = 1560mS Now sub in 1S/1000mS and cancel out common numerator & denominator units: 1560mS * (1Second/1000mS) = 1560 S/1000 = 1.56Seconds

Well, Thank you so much people :slight_smile:

Ok..so milli()/1000 will give us the elapsed time in second, like {1,2,3} if I didnt divide them by 1000ms ? what will I get then ?

f I didnt divide them by 1000ms ? what will I get then ? Bigger numbers

No, you could get numbers like 1472, or 4817.

I really don't see where you're taking this, or if you're just trolling. From: millis() - Arduino Reference The Arduino programming language Reference, organized into Functions, Variable and Constant, and Structure keywords. Description Returns the number…

Well, didnt stated.But why that number ? Thank you

I will get {1000ms,2000ms,3000ms} ? Instead of the value in simplify form which is {1,2,3}?
