Delay method

[Pavan]

Hi,

I want to do something like this in the dev mode:

1. Give 1200 throttle for 5 seconds
2. After that, give 1500 throttle for next 5 seconds
3. Then stop it by giving throllte 1000.

Is there any way to achive it?

The following code is not working:
void plutoPilot()
{

Motor.set(M1, 1200);
delay_ms(5000);
Motor.set(M1, 1500);delay_ms(5000);
Motor.set(M1, 1000);

}

Thanks,

Hi Pavan,
delay_ms(5000) is a blocking function. In order to execute this code properly, you need to use a non-blocking function. I will upload the code here in a couple of hours.

hello…What do you mean by efficient?A 1ms delay is 1ms.
Any software delay is a blocking delay, i.e. the code blocks the CPU from executing any other instructions.
If you want tighter code, you can use
while (–wait);
But that means that wait must be increased for the same time delay.
