Node is asynchronous by nature, and that’s what’s great about it, so you really shouldn’t be blocking the thread, but as this seems to be for a project controlling LED’s, I’ll post a workaraound anyway, even if it’s not a very good one and shouldn’t be used (seriously). A while loop will block the thread, … Read more
If you are in Excel VBA you can use the following. Application.Wait(Now + TimeValue(“0:00:01”)) (The time string should look like H:MM:SS.)
In standard C (C99), you can use time() to do this, something like: #include <time.h> : void waitFor (unsigned int secs) { unsigned int retTime = time(0) + secs; // Get finishing time. while (time(0) < retTime); // Loop until it arrives. } By the way, this assumes time() returns a 1-second resolution value.

This delays for 2.5 seconds: import time time.sleep(2.5) Here is another example where something is run approximately once a minute: import time while True: print(“This prints once a minute.”) time.sleep(60) # Delay for 1 minute (60 seconds).
import time time.sleep(5) # Delays for 5 seconds. You can also use a float value. Here is another example where something is run approximately once a minute: import time while True: print(“This prints once a minute.”) time.sleep(60) # Delay for 1 minute (60 seconds).
