If it helps, basically, instead of using a command that halts command execution (delay) he's simply comparing times in a conditional statement to control when the light turns on/off. Using delay, the loop() function takes 2 seconds to complete before it runs again in the initial code, because the delay there is 2 seconds. This leaves very little time for the Arduino to realize when a button press occurs in the latter part of the code. Without using delay, the loop runs at a much higher speed and thus condition checks run much faster. For example, let's assume this code is short enough that without delays, loop() running a single time only takes 100 milliseconds at 5:17. So in one second, loop() runs 10 times. So the loop would check for a button press every 10 milliseconds while also checking whether the current time is a minimum of 1000 milliseconds after the last time stamp we saved to the prevTime() variable. Since prevTime() is only set when the condition statement is true, it remains whatever value it was set to eg. 5000 until the difference between the previously saved time and the currently reported time (time continuously updates during program execution), is greater than 1000 ms. He probably should have set it to >=1000ms because technically, the LED would always be on for slightly longer than the intended 1 second otherwise.

This method of timing has real-world use. The aviation industry uses an inter-device protocol with a "bus list" format with sub loops inside a main loop. You determine priority devices and add hardware interrupts, but the loops continues indefinitely.

You need to make more arduino tutorials. This was short, to the point and showed the full concept unlike other videos where I've been trying to piece it together from several videos.
using millis() works, but your code will fail after millis() is reset to 0. Another method of achieving pseudo multi-tasking is treating each task as an object containing a few methods to maintain and check an internal counter. A caveat with this is that exact timings can be a little hard to achieve. Say you want to blink an LED every 1 second, you use an object representing the LED task, within this object you have a counter variable, a checkCounter() method and a switchState() method, in your main loop, you call LED.checkCounter() every, lets say 10ms, the checkCounter() method implements the same check as you are doing with millis(), but checks its internal clock, after hitting a threshold of in this case 100, it calls switchState() and resets the counter to 0. as you add more tasks, you simply call their checkCounter() methods one after another in the loop. This avoids messy code in the loop and makes tasks self contained, making your program much clearer. Additionally, you are not having to do maths with unsigned longs, which will take far more clock cycles than a well chosen data type for an internal counter, which in some cases could just be a single byte. Using objects also lets you do other forms of multitasking, such as priority based, you can even maintain a list of tasks that can be added to providing a far more versatile multitasking environment.
@@ikeabuchi1 it will still fail, the code is checking 'if greater than', it will fail at the roll over, the first iteration after the rollover will fail, unless you check the absolute difference.
Great job explaining this in great detail. I have 2 projects in mind to do but couldn't figure out the delay problem. With Millis it all makes since. Back to do some coding. I will have a question in the near future though.
This was truly well detailed and informative video, I was going to make a home automation project with a clock in it, this might solve my problem. Thank you so much ❤❤
Yo I might see a problem with this technique. The way that millis() works is that it's going to use ISR: Interrupt structured routines. Every 1 millisecond, an ISR routine is going to be launch and a timer is goign to be incremented. However, aren't we limited by the a maximum amount of millisecond that an interger can take? Every approximately 65 000 millisecond or 65 secondes, the program would crash because the timer would restart
@@mihaiocnaru5260 No code crash problem, but when millis() rolls over to 0 the comparison of the current value of millis() to the pervious will fail to work as intended
@@akirchner3depends on how you do the comparison. Unsigned integer types in C++ have wrapping overflow semantics. This means that additions that overflow and subtractions that underflow can still give the correct answer as long as you work with delta t and not absolute t values.
I am curious about what will happen with program, when current time variable will be overloaded. So it will be zero, when previous time is a big number.
This is really a great video . I literally decided to move some 32bit controllers like ESP32 for some multitasking abilities. But, now you made it easier than i thought 💭 😁.
Your code may creep, should the accumulation of run times of the other tasks cause your timer to advance 2 ticks in one trip of loop(). Instead of global prevTime, use prevTime_T1, prevTime_T2, ..., initialize each in setup. Then each task should compare currentTime minus its own prevTime_Tn > its own interval to trigger task code. AND last part of task advances its prevTime_Tn by its interval (iow not set to currentTime). If you desire for the code to be a bit pickier, get currentTime before each task filter.

Can I use this method when the processes depends on each others and starts if the user sends signal ? Like the user will send signal to activate some continuous servos as chosen by the user (each servo has its own delay) and when the servos start rotating the DC motors will work as well.
@@amrit5 Actually I understood and tried it , it works but not as I want because my program depends on the user so I want to make constats of time provided by the function millis() because the millis starts counting when the arduino board is on not when the user send the signal to activate the motors ... but its not possible inside arduino loop funcrion to save the current value of milli time.

"and i have function in a loop"
You mean you have a Loop IN A FUNCTION
YES YOU CAN DO THAT
However, instead of killing yourself with Arduino
Why don't you pop over to ESP32
Learn about Multi Tasking thefollowing FREE RTOS COMMANDS
xTaskCreate (Focus on this)
xTaskCreatePinnedToCore (This is popular but over rated but sometimes useful)
if that alone doesn't help you , Learn about
Queues
Semaphore
Mutexes
See, Unlike processes in Arduino, In ESP32 You don't do this...
void setup()
{
}
void loop()
{
}
Instead you do this
void setup()
{
}
void Function1()
{
YOUR ONE TIME CODE GOES HERE
for(;;)
{
YOUR LOOP CODE GOES HERE
}
}
void loop()
{
}
AND YOU CAN CREATE AS MANY FUNCTIONS AS YOU WANT
AND EACH FUNCTION CAN BE ASSIGNED PRIORITY with the following line
xTaskCreate(Function_1, "Function 1", 2000, NULL, 1, &Function1 );
The priority is the "1"
this will allow you to dictate which programs runs first, second or at all
so long as you understand THE TASK STATES OF RTOS
www.freertos.org/RTOS-task-states.html
Your problem is greatly simplified if you use ESP32 and FreeRTOS
In Arduino Functions run BY DEFAULT Sequentially
In ESP32 BY DEFAULT
Assuming all Functions are set to the same priority
THEY ALL EXECUTE AT THE SAME TIME
There is nothing for you to set
LOL

- Post your code USING THE CODE BUTTON, do not just post it to the forum
(if you don't know how, Ask the forum and they will tell you) there is a button at the top called /Code/ Press that .
- Provide a schematic of your project, even if it's hand drawn.
Don't skip this as they will demand it before you get any answer .
If you do those things, you'll get a lot of assistance
if you don't you'll probably get told "we don't do your homework for you"
also, if your code was written by an A.I. DO NOT POST IT, they hate that .
But coming here to get the answer is not the right thing to do

YOU'RE WELCOME, THANK YOU
Question : Why are you using AT89S52 if that's the problem.
is it a course parameter that you need to use this architecture.
if yes... WHY ? What's the purpose of doing it
if your'e allowed to use another board, i would suggest not Arduino but ESP32 Wroom
But if it must be that, then 1 thing you can be certain of is this...
THE LECTURER WILL KNOW THAT A SOLUTION EXISTS
therefore it can be done
The lecturer will have a lesson they want to teach you, Know what the lesson is and you'll be closer to the solution.
@@martinkuliza Actually yes, I was learning At89S52. And I got the solution, I will use RTC using I2C interface. There was a solution with the interrupt and using good crystal but they are not even giving decent results, so I decided to use a RTC ds3231 that is temparature independent, means it automatically resolve it's frequency drift based on inbuilt temperature sensor.
Yes Esp is the best option as it syn using internet.
And once again Thanks brother stay safe, healthy and happy ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Unclear, you did not explain what the millis(). Can you confirm that millis() is the time between START time (program starts) and Current time (command executes).
Just use interrupts
How can you give a example because ei would need it in a school project
@@Furkan.241 I don't think UA-cam comments would be appropriate for that. I would recommend searching Google or even using the new Google for stuff like this: ChatGPT
Thank you so much))
