How to do something like a windows Sleep(ms)?
Hello, how to do a 10ms pause in a loop? Like in windows programming sleep(ms)
I need something like
for i=1 to end
do something here...
pause(1) ' 10ms pause for example
next i
I know about on_sys_timer but I am not sure if it can help me in this case at least not in a straightforward way, unless I am missibg something very obvious.

Inappropriate?Ciao
w=sys.timecount 'memorize time count at the beginning of waiting for serial data
do while true
if sys.timecount-w>20 then exit do 'we quit after 10 seconds
doevents 'polite waiting includes this
wend
This will count 10 seconds. The minimun is half a second
Another way to delay is:
dim delay as integer
sys.onsystimerperiod=10 ' each interrupt is 10ms put on initialization routines
sub on_sys_timer
delay=delay+1
if delay= 30000 then delay=0 ' to void runtime error maximum 300 seconds
end sub
sub delay(msdelay as integer)
delay=0 ' clear counter
do while true
doevents
if msdelay=delay then exit sub
loop
end sub
to pause 20ms
delay(2)
Hope it can help
Ciao
