This will work with any class as long as it defines the following methods:

void delay(uint32_t ms);
uint32_t millis();
MILLIS_PTR millis
Count number of milliseconds elapsed since some time base reference (generally since MCU startup).
Definition: time.cpp:20

Variable Documentation

◆ delay

time::DELAY_PTR time::delay = time::default_delay
extern

Delay program execution for the given amount of milliseconds.

delay is not actually a function but a function pointer; this allows FastArduino to set the best implementation based on currently used features. By default, delay just performs a busy loop for the right amount of MCU cycles. Note that if you want to be sure reduce code size to the minimum and you are OK with always using busy loops for delays, then you should use time::delay_ms() instead.

Parameters
msnumber of milliseconds to wait for
See also
time::delay_ms()

Definition at line 19 of file time.cpp.

◆ millis

time::MILLIS_PTR time::millis = nullptr
extern

Count number of milliseconds elapsed since some time base reference (generally since MCU startup).

millis is not actually a function but a function pointer; this allows FastArduino to set the best implementation based on currently used features. By default, millis is not pointing to any concrete implementation, hence you should not call it if it has not been initialized yet. You can initialize it with timer::set_clock() provided with the instance of a class implementing a minimal "clock" API. The following classes implement this minimal clock API:

Returns
number of milliseconds elapsed since some given time base base reference

time::set_clock()
