millis() (Functions > Time > Millis)

Description : Returns the number of milliseconds passed since the Arduino board began running the current program. This number will overflow (go back to zero), after approximately 50 days.
Syntax : time = millis()
Parameters : None
Returns : Number of milliseconds passed since the program started.
Data type: unsigned long.

 

Example Code : this example code prints on the serial port the number of milliseconds passed since the Arduino board started running the code itself.

 

unsigned long myTime;

void setup() {
   Serial.begin(9600);
   }

void loop() {
Serial.print("Time: ");
myTime = millis();
Serial.println(myTime); // prints time since program started
delay(1000); // wait a second so as not to send massive amounts of data
}

 

Composant 4N35 :

Functioning : an opto-isolator (also called an optocoupler, photocoupler, or optical isolator) is an electronic component that transfers electrical signals between two isolated circuits by using light. Opto-isolators prevent high voltages from affecting the system receiving the signal. Thus an optocoupler is formed by an infrared LED and a phototransistor or a photodiode. The optocoupler provides a link between the LED and the phototransistor while providing electrical isolation between the two.
