millis

[Vasant Phadke]

i recently started working on pinguino and wanted to make a snooze
timer for my son who wants to stay awake while studying. he should
press a button within a specified time or else the buzzer will sound
and awaken him

i needed to resert the millis count for this sothat every time the
button is pressed the cycle starts over again

i searched and found the _millis(0) post

i copy pasted the whole code as a trial but it wont compile giving
error

i am using beta 9.05 and 18F2550

thanks in advance for helping

Hi

_millis is an internal variable used to count time. You can reset it using:
_millis=0;

I hope your son will stay awake with this !!

Replace _millis(0); with _millis=0;

Did you try this?

void loop()

if (millis()>1000) digitalWrite(0,HIGH); // light the led after 1
second

if (millis()>2000) _millis=0; // reset the millis() counter after 2
seconds
}

this is the code from the wiki--functions--millis

i tried _millis0; and _millis(0); both

same compilation error-------error 20: Undefined identifier '_Millis'
thanks again for a quick reply

remove the comment '// reset the millis() counter after 2' and it will be OK. This is a bug of the 9-05 release.

You reset the millis count but you don't seem to put the Pin 0 state to LOW...

void setup()
{
pinMode(0,OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(0,LOW);
}

void loop()
{
if (millis() > 1000) digitalWrite(0,HIGH);

if (millis() > 2000){
_millis = 0;
digitalWrite(0,LOW);
}
}

Try to copy and paste this code, I removed all the comments and added a space in between the operators and conditionals and added the digitalWrite low to turn off the LED

(I have no computer with me right now so I cannot test the source code but try this anyway)
