Arduino blink without delay

hard to understand

@pylon

The fundamental concept is show by the BlinkWithoutDelay example. Take a look at that code to find out how to use the millis() call to have delays without loosing functionality.

this is true
but the way it is shown is hard to understand.
try this tutorial

Example-code for timing based on millis() easier to understand through the use of example-numbers / avoiding delay()

non-blocking timing. Execute code only from time to time. There are a lot of different ways to learn programming. This thread wants to add another approach that is different to the yet existing ones. UPDATE 06.01.2023 if you are mainly interested in applying non-blocking timing you can do a quick read of this short tutorial / demonstration If you are intersted in understanding the details how it works go on reading here. I use an everyday analogon in this post to explain the basic principle …
