Tiny easy timeouts, FPS and blinks without delay
runtime blink
return true/false on a defined on/off rate that can be adjusted at runtime
bool rblink(time_on,time_off)time_on milliseconds to stay on
time_off milliseconds to stay off
usage
just set this function as the led state and it will blink at defined rate.
digitalWrite(ledPin,rblink(100,900));static blink
return true/false on a compile time fixed on/off rate, can not be changed at runtime.
bool sblink<time_on,time_off>()time_on milliseconds to stay on
time_off milliseconds to stay off
usage
just set this function as the led state and it will blink at defined rate.
digitalWrite(ledPin,rblink<100,900>());Limit the FPS rate of a function/process
useful to execute a function at a defined maximum rate without worry of time process details.
The rate is defined at compile time and can not be changed after.
FPS<n> varName;n milliseconds minimal interval
varName a variable name of your choice
usage
FPS<2> fps;
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
if(fps) Serial.print(".");//will print a maximum of 2 dots per seconds (can be less if busy)
}Allow a process to run at least some time step appart from the previous call. It will be on/true after defined timeout, and reset itself for next step.
This is the base for FPS but exposes extra functionalities.
The timming distance is fixed at compile time.
Self reset is done only on first reached read.
Tick<step> tick;step milliseconds minimal interval
tick a variable name of your choice
member functions
void reset() force reset timeout from now to step ms.
long when() just returns next target millis
