Arduino for Beginners - 2022 Complete Course - Pause the Execution with delay () and delayMicroseconds()

The video tutorial introduces the delay and delay microseconds functions, explaining their usage in programming. The delay function pauses execution for a specified number of milliseconds, while delay microseconds does the same for microseconds. The tutorial highlights the importance of these functions in scenarios requiring precise timing, such as reading sensor data. It also compares the two functions, emphasizing the flexibility and precision offered by delay microseconds for shorter time intervals.

What is the minimum delay time you can set using the delay function?

• 10 milliseconds

• 1 microsecond

• 1 millisecond

• 1 second

How many microseconds are there in one millisecond?

• 1000 microseconds

• 100 microseconds

• 1 microsecond

• 10,000 microseconds

If you want to delay a program for half a millisecond, how many microseconds should you use with delayMicroseconds?

• 500 microseconds

• 1000 microseconds

• 1500 microseconds

• 2000 microseconds

Why might you choose to use delayMicroseconds instead of delay?

• To simplify code

• To save memory

• To achieve longer delays

• To achieve shorter, more precise delays

Which function would be more suitable for a delay of 15 microseconds?

• Neither function can handle this

• Both are equally suitable

• delayMicroseconds

• delay
