Arduino Time

 

Arduino Time






Function & Description
1

delay () function

The way the delay() function works is pretty simple. It accepts a single integer (or number) argument. This number represents the time (measured in milliseconds).

2

delayMicroseconds () function

The delayMicroseconds() function accepts a single integer (or number) argument. There are a thousand microseconds in a millisecond and a million microseconds in a second.

3

millis () function

This function is used to return the number of milliseconds at the time, the Arduino board begins running the current program.

4

micros () function

The micros() function returns the number of microseconds from the time, the Arduino board begins running the current program. This number overflows i.e. goes back to zero after approximately 70 minutes.



More Time examples will be seen in project examples

Arduino function libraries~Math Library Function

  Arduino Math Library Arduino Math library includes a number of useful mathematical functions for manipulating floating-point numbers. Functions are defined in the header math.h #include < math.h > double cos (double __x) // returns cosine of x double fabs (double __x) // absolute value of a float double fmod (double __x, double __y) // floating point modulo double modf (double __value, double *__iptr) // breaks the argument value into // integral and fractional parts double sin (double __x) // returns sine of x double sqrt (double __x) // returns square root of x double tan (double __x) // returns tangent of x double exp (double __x) // function returns the exponential value of x. double atan (double __x) // arc tangent of x double atan2 (double __y, double __x) // arc tangent of y/x double log (double __x) // natural logarithm of x double log10 (double __x) // logarithm of x to base 10. double pow (do...

Project 6: Arduino print hello

Image
   In this aricle, I’ll explain how to connect  LCD (Liquid Crystall Display) on an Arduino and  all the different ways you can program it, print msg, scroll msg, make custom characters, blink msg, and position msg. Before going to to print hello or any text on LCD (Liquid Crystall Display ) you must know a brief about i2c communication .   I2C LCD comes handy making use of only 2 pins (SDA & SCL) and this will help you to reduce number of wires in our circuit SCL is the clock signal SDA is the data signal.    Hardware Required 1 × Arduino UNO or Genuino UNO 1 × USB 2.0 cable type A/B 1 × LCD                                                                                    n × Jumper Wires and BreadBoard       ...
