Control time library.

hi,

i'd ask whether knows library manage times.
for example, write code:

code: [select]


unsigned long previousmilis;
int time = 1000;
setup {previousmilis= millis();}
loop {if(millis() - previousmillis > time) {previousmillis = millis();}}


it'd easier library expresion:

code: [select]


timelibrary mytime;
int time = 1000;
loop {if(mytime.check(time)) {}}


our sketchs less tedious manage.

thanks.

can made 1 of problems such function has function call overhead may or may not affect program flow. millis() not bad, micros story quite different.

the code function this.

code: [select]


boolean checktimeelapsedsincelastcall(unsigned long t)  // shorter name possible ;)
{
  static unsigned long prev = 0;
  unsigned long = millis();
  if (now - prev >= t)
  {
     prev = now;
     return true;
  }
  return false;
}

have fun
