thread safe sleep()

[Sylensky]

Hi,

Is it possible to add a popular sleep(ms) function back to the scheduler? I am looking for a similiar approach to a vTaskDelay(ms) from FreeRTOS for example.

So far there is just a yield() which context-switches to the next task immediately.

Thanks for the question. Actually the Arduino core function delay(ms) uses yield() and thus gives the coroutine/thread version of sleep().

 delay(DEBOUNCE); 

Cheers, Mikael

Oh thanks, this just pointed me into the direction of a bug in my code.
