Geacht forum,

De C-taal kent een register: millis genaamd.
Zodra de Arduino start, begint deze onafhankelijke interne milliseconden teller te lopen.
Is er een Bascom commando om deze teller (register) uit te lezen?

Groeten, Dré Jansen

Dear forum,

In the C-language is a register called millis.
As soon as the Arduino starts this independent milliseconds counter begins counting.
Is there a Bascom command to read this counter? (register?)

Best regards, Dré Jansen

No, there is not such a register in hardware. take a look in the data sheet.
if you want to keep on track of time, you have to use a timer for it.
in bascom you can do so using config clock. then use SysSecElapsed function.
Or just create a timer that overflows each ms and increase a dword.
but there is not hardware register that keeps time for you so millis is just software.
