Arduino delay() and millis() Functions: Tight Loops and Blocking Code

The video tutorial discusses using Arduino for timed events, focusing on the Millis function as an alternative to the delay function. It explains the concept of tight loops and blocking code, highlighting the limitations of the delay function. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of understanding these concepts for efficient programming and introduces the next lesson on when to use the Millis function.
