00:00.210 --> 00:06.120
In the next few lessons, you are going to work with the Ardino time functionalities, though, after

00:06.120 --> 00:12.330
getting this information like you have learned how to use cellular communication for both sending and

00:12.330 --> 00:13.380
receiving data.

00:13.800 --> 00:15.310
Now, let's work with time.

00:15.870 --> 00:22.230
In the last activity of the same section, you could see that this solution was not that optimal.

00:22.440 --> 00:26.260
And this is because of the delay function blocking the entire program.

00:26.880 --> 00:32.880
So in this section, I'm going to explain to you with more details, what is the problem with delay

00:33.060 --> 00:34.600
and how to solve it?

00:34.890 --> 00:42.390
You will see how to get the timing you in a program and how to compute a duration which will be super

00:42.390 --> 00:42.930
useful.

00:42.930 --> 00:47.640
And basically you will need that in almost all your Arduino project.

00:48.120 --> 00:54.420
With the time functionalities, you would be able to run multiple actions in parallel or in other words,

00:54.620 --> 00:57.330
create a multitask project.

00:57.720 --> 01:03.810
This section is super important because it will allow you to overcome one of the biggest problems that

01:03.810 --> 01:08.420
beginners face when starting to create more complex are in your project.

01:08.790 --> 01:13.440
Make sure you watch all the reasons in the other and let's get started.
