Arduino Delay Function - Tutorial on Software Interrupts, Timer Library & Alternatives to Delay
An Arduino delay can ruin your code. Knowing how to leverage software interrupts as well as Arduino timers as alternatives to Arduino delay calls critical. We will be looking at the Arduino Timer Library as well as examples of Software Interrupts and how you can eliminate the pesky Arduino delay function.
The demo in the tutorial is an LCD screen which receives data sent by the microcontroller with regards to a potentiometer. We will be discussing how we can eliminate the delay() call and which drawbacks each of the methods will have on our code.
