C10: Arduino / RPi Pico Advanced – Actuator Interfacing
  1. Delay – A pause in the program

    • In Arduino: delay(1000) pauses for 1000 milliseconds (1 second) before moving to the next command.

    • Simple but blocks all other actions during the pause.

  2. Timer – Tracks elapsed time without stopping the program

    • In Arduino: millis() returns the time in milliseconds since the board was powered on.

    • Allows multitasking (e.g., blinking an LED while reading a sensor).

  3. Sequence Control – Arranging multiple actions in the right order and at the right speed.
