Arduino Programming Tutorials || How to Construct Time-Sensitive While Loops

Video demonstrates and explains the construction of "time-sensitive" while loops within the Arduino environment. Such loops are useful for situations when one wants the Arduino to perform a task (or set thereof) for a specific interval of time but one doesn't know or care about the exact number of iterations the task will be performed. For example, one wants to sample a sensor for 5 seconds --period. One doesn't care about the exact number of samples collected, just that samples are collected for 5 seconds. Or, e.g., in cases where one wants a stepper motor (or multiple stepper motors) to advance one step at the time for 30 seconds, 1 minute, 5 minutes, etc. One doesn't know or care about the exact number of steps needed, one just wants the motor (or motors) to keep stepping for the desired interval of time.

For example applications of this code in the case of controlling stepper motors please see my video entitled: "Arduino Projects || Controlling Stepper Motors with Time-Sensitive While Loops" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGWSpHJcd6Q
