The one I use a lot is &quot;while (forever)&quot; where forever is defined to be 1. Looks like there is a whole wikipedia page on the various ways to do it: <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_loop" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank" title="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_loop">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_loop</a> </p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=3403&AppID=315&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">https://community.element14.com/members-area/personalblogs/b/john-wiltrout-s-blog/posts/process-duration-timer-part-4-the-brain-and-proof-of-conceptSun, 06 Aug 2017 05:33:16 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:01b91d67-c76b-4540-893b-8ce9bab79ed6mcb11<p>It looks like it is getting there.<span>[View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-01b91d67-c76b-4540-893b-8ce9bab79ed6/contentimage_5F00_930.png:16:16]</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The only comment I would make in your sketch is to shift the delay(2000) on line 50 to between 59 and 60.</p><p>The reasoning is that you serial print the result then wait 2 secs before entering the never ending loop.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I presume you want to record the result as soon as you detect it, rather than adding 2 secs.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Cheers</p><p>Mark</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=3403&AppID=315&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">
