Returns the number of microseconds since the LaunchPad board began running the current program. This number will overflow (go back to zero), after approximately 70 minutes.
Note: there are 1,000 microseconds in a millisecond and 1,000,000 microseconds in a second.
None
Number of microseconds since the program started (unsigned long)
unsigned long time;
void setup(){
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop(){
Serial.print("Time: ");
time = micros();
//prints time since program started
Serial.println(time);
// wait a second so as not to send massive amounts of data
delay(1000);
}
