Hi, i have a for() loop within the general arduino void_loop in which I need to control the frequency of each particular passage through it. On the other hand I would like Arduino to perform, in the time between passages of the for() loops, another task given that a certain amount of time passes sin…

Since the function named loop() loops very rapidly, there may be no reason to use a for loop within it. In that context, you can solve the timing problem for one action using millis(). Whether that is possible for more than one action depends on your requirements.

[image] ureta_a: for() normally used to apply identical action on some amount of elements, one element may be skipped with continue;, escape out whole for() loop with break; or when changing value is not in range: for(int i = 0; i < 100; i++){ ... if(someCondition) i=100; } so, if for() n…

Get rid of the for loops unless they are for processing an array.

[image] ureta_a: Is there any way to control the time of each passage through a for() loop without using the delay function, and at the same time allowing multitasking given by a conditional millis(), etc Yes, probably, it's hard to be sure without knowing more about your timing requirements …

As others have suggested a for loop does not sound like the tool for this job. Please give some examples of what you are trying to do.

Always show us a good schematic of your proposed circuit. Show us good images of your ‘actual’ wiring. Give links to components. In the Arduino IDE, use Ctrl T or CMD T to format your code then copy the complete sketch. Use the < CODE / > icon from the ‘posting menu’ to attach the copied sk…

Since you didn't post example code to play with, consider the difference between running this program with HOBBLE=true and HOBBLE=false bool HOBBLE = true; int NUM = 20; void setup() { // put your setup code here, to run once: Serial.begin(115200); } void loop() { if (HOBBLE) { for (int…

Aw, I thought HOBBLE was nicer than using KNEECAP, but both suck. Also, I had to go back and edit in a extra task to do in loop().
