In this post it will be seen how to pause the execution code for a certain time in microseconds. Basically this function pauses the program for a certain time and after this time it continues as normal.
The function for pause the execution code for a certain time in microseconds using Arduino IDE is delayMicroseconds() This function is used to set a time of pause.
*With next version of Industrial Shields boards won’t be necessary to configure the pins, just selecting the properly board, I/O’s will be automatically configured.
Function
delayMicroseconds(Microseconds)
Parameters
microseconds: time expressed in milliseconds -> 1000ms = 1 sec
Example
Code Example, blinking of an analog outputs every 0,5ms:
void setup() {
pinMode(A0_5, OUTPUT); // configure A0.5 as OUTPUT
}
void loop() {
analogWrite(A0_5, 0);
delayMicroseconds(500) // delay 0,5ms
analogWrite(A0_5, 255);
delayMicroseconds(500)
}
