Relay timing

[zezendapuss]

Hey guys,

I have  build a small program to control 8 relays on a conrad relay card. 

Individual relays are controlled by sending commands with 19200 Baud without handshake signals, 8 data bits, without parity bit and with one stop bit. 

The programs shown works perfectly if individual relays need to switched on/off.

Now i would like to add a timing function i.e. controlling the timing of individual relays based on user input. 

Any suggestions on how to go about it would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hello,

Try to refactor your code into State Machine:

It will help you to manage timing properly 🙂

Use State Machine Architecture for your application and for controlling Timing you can use Elapsed Timer.
