[LOGIC] elapsed

[null null]

Hello Enrico

Could you explain "elapsed"

HydPress1 = HydPress1 + (elapsed * 80)

Hi,

this is indeed a useful one. It will return the elapsed time since the last

loop and allows smooth increments independently of the cycle times...

Ciao

Units? Seconds, Millisecinds, Microseconds? Or is this one of those things
where you try any value, then double or halve it, and so on?

The unit for the "elapsed" value is seconds.

Thus if you want something to go from 0 to 100 in ten seconds, you use:

myValue = myValue + ( elapsed * 10 )

Come to think of it, I could add a more explicit

seconds

and

milliseconds
