Real Time Arduino Library

The purpose of this library is to provide a simple components to control hardware in a non-blocking way (Real-Time).

Each library component of the library consists in two parts :

• non-blocking functions using millis() to work
• blocking functions using delay() (suffixed with Sync)

All components are C++ class following the same logic, they have a constructor who take the pin to which they are attached, a setup() method and a loop() method which must each be called in the global arduino setup() and loop() functions.

Real Time Led

Control a blinking led on a pin.

Usage:

#include "Led.cpp"

Led my_led(7); // Create a led on pin 7

void setup()
{
  my_led.setup(); // Setup the led
  my_led.startBlinking(200); // Start blinking every 200ms
}

void loop()
{
  my_led.loop(); // Event loop
}

You can use the following methods to control the component :

/* Simple functions */
my_led.turnOn(); // Turn on the led
my_led.turnOff(); // Turn off the led
my_led.toggle(); // Toggle the led on or off

/* Realtime blinking functions */
my_led.blinkOnce(500); // Blink one time with 500ms interval
my_led.startBlinking(500)// Blink continuously with 500ms interval
my_led.stopBlinking(); // Stop blinking

/* Non realtime blinking functions */
my_led.blinkOnceSync(500); // Blink one time with 500ms interval

Real Time Button

Get inputs from a button.
This component work with 2 callbacks, onPressed and onReleased. You can bind function to these events to execute an action when your button is pressed or released.
The button can be setup only in pull-down mode and the component take care of the rebound effect (1 pressure = 1 action).

Usage:

#include "Button.cpp"

void print_hello()
{
  Serial.println("Hello !");
}

void print_byebye()
{
  Serial.println("Bye !")
}

Button my_button(7); // Create a button on pin 7

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(9600);

  my_button.setup(); // Setup the button
  my_button.onPressed(&print_hello); // Call the function `print_hello()` when button is pressed
  my_button.onReleased(&print_byebye); // Call the function `print_byebye()` when button is released
}

void loop()
{
  my_button.loop();
}
