Arduino for Beginners - 2022 Complete Course - The Problem with delay ()

The video tutorial discusses the limitations of using the delay function in Arduino programming. It explains how delay can block program execution, causing timing issues when trying to perform multiple tasks, such as blinking LEDs at different rates or reading sensor data. The tutorial provides examples of these challenges and introduces the concept of multithreading as a solution, highlighting the need for alternative time functionalities to manage multiple actions effectively.

What is the effect of using the delay function in a program?

How does the delay function impact communication between a computer and Arduino?

What challenges arise when trying to perform multiple tasks in a program that uses delay?

Explain how you can manage multiple LED blinks at different rates without using delay.

What is the proposed solution to the limitations imposed by the delay function?
