Hi,

Does anyone know if there is a function like millis() (on the arduino) for the mbed. The function is like below.

Parameters

None

Returns

Number of milliseconds since the program started (unsigned long)

Thanks

Mike.

wait_ms() is milliseconds, wait_us() is microseconds.

Hope that helps.

Not really but thanks anyway!

wait_ms() & wait_us() just dwell or pause dont they? The Millis() function on the arduino returns how long the chips program has been run in milliseconds.

This is how they discribe the function.

millis()

Description

Returns the number of milliseconds since the Arduino board began running the current program. This number will overflow (go back to zero), after approximately 50 days.

Cheers.

Woops sorry replyed to quickly!

1) short period of time :

May be you can use timer (look in the handbook page) :

t.start(); as first instruction of main()

Timer t;

int main() {
    t.start();
 
    // your code here
 
    printf("mbed started %d milliseconds ago\n", t.read_ms());

2) Longer period of time :

look for rtc_time in mbed lib in the compiler

Perfect.

Thanks!
