  • In this video I share a program to blink the internal LED on a Pico W faster and faster to see at what speed I can no longer see it blink.

    Great job Lori. Thanks! When I watch I always get inspiration. My inspiration here would be to code it to calculate the iterations so each set lasted say 5 sec.

      Yes I was thinking about something like that after I had already starting filming the vids so I decided I needed to stop. Thanks for watching!

    Awesome 👌
    Here's the issue: The print() function incurs a relatively huge delay.
    The longer the string you print() the greater the delay you incur.
    I found this out the hard way 🙄🤦🤦🤦

      Good point; although it did get to the point that I could not see the blinking so I am not sure how much the print() function delayed the blinking. I also noticed that my time was very similar to other folks in the class. Still I will watch that next time. I really only needed to print that once. Thanks for watching!

      I updated the code to move the print function outside of the blink loop based on your feedback. Not sure it made a big difference but now there is no question and there is less stuff in the shell window as it operates. Code is linked in description. Thx!

      You're a legend ✌️😃👍
      Probably only a MilliSecond or so 🤷
      I guess you could use the system clock to reveal the extent of the delay 🤔👍
      Thanks Lori 👋😀
