I am using an ESP32 and MicroPython 1.12 and I have a question that may be a bug.
How does one go about stalling a thread without spinning wheels?? When using any other flavor of Python if a thread spins it's wheels it will chew up 100% of the processor. (on a multicore processor it will chew up a single core).
I have not tested any code on the ESP as of yet, I thought I would ask before I make an error and have to change a bunch of code around. I normally use threading,Event so I have the option of stalling a thread until an event occurs or for a specified amount of time. I do not think that the threading module exists in MicrooPython.
I specifically need an event based stall. I would think that utime.sleep_ms would apply to a thread nd not globally. I could be wrong tho.
