Hi.

When I do X = millis();

X is going up to some thing like 32000 and then to 0 agian...

Can I tell millis() to go to 0 befor? like after 20000 millisec?

What version are you running?

Define X to be of type 'unsigned long' instead of 'int', int gets to a maximum of 32768 before restarting at 0.

Here's a forum topic about it:

Thanks, it worked fine when I define it a positive long.
