Millis Made Easier

Thanks Greg.

Maybe make these 'unsigned int' or 'unsigned long'
Gives you the full range for the type. (don't need negative numbers :wink: ):

int intervalOne = 1000; // Interval at which to display (milliseconds)
int intervalTwo = 2000;
int intervalThree = 3000;

example: unsigned long myInterval = 400000UL;

Also this is usually accepted as more correct to prevent slippage:

Accumulator1 = currentMillis;
Change to:
Accumulator1 = Accumulator1 + intervalOne;
etc.

Did this a way back, might find something interesting here:
