Sleep within a while statement???

[freaky_911]

Hi!

I would like to know if its better to place a e32.sleep(x)
statement within a while true slope?

What does the sleep function - is it just another while
statement???

Is there an advantage according to battery life or
other things???

Kind regards!

Hello,

e32.ao_sleep(x) tells the program to wait x seconds before moving on to the next instructions. At its simplest form, it can be described as

while (time is not up yet): do nothing

Yes ok but is there a difference for e.g. power consumption
if the programm waits in a e32.sleep(1000) statement or
if there is a while slope which takes 1000 seconds???

Hi,

Don't think there will be much difference in both cases. But the latter may comsume more power depending upon the statements in the while loop

hi freaky_911
both the method the e32.sleep() and the while will lead to a same result.
but its insisted to use e32.sleep as it is a modular function rather than using loop.
hope u r satisfied.
plz give ur feedback

Ok thanks a lot to both answers!
I prefer while in combination with
sleep ... So i can use the advantages
of both cases.
