For example, if +**value** is **HIGH**, **pulseIn()** waits for the pin to go +**HIGH**, starts timing, then waits for the pin to go **LOW** and +stops timing. Returns the length of the pulse in microseconds. +Gives up and returns 0 if no pulse starts within a specified time +out. + + + +The timing of this function has been determined empirically and +will probably show errors in longer pulses. Works on pulses from 10 +microseconds to 3 minutes in length. + + + +Syntax +------ + +pulseIn(pin, value) +pulseIn(pin, value, timeout) + + + +Parameters +---------- + +pin: the number of the pin on which you want to read the pulse. +(*int*) + + + +value: type of pulse to read: either +`HIGH <http://arduino.cc/en/Reference/Constants>`_ or +`LOW <http://arduino.cc/en/Reference/Constants>`_. (*int*) + + + +timeout (optional): the number of microseconds to wait for the +pulse to start; default is one second (*unsigned long*) + + + +Returns +------- + +the length of the pulse (in microseconds) or 0 if no pulse started +before the timeout (*unsigned long*) + + + +Example +------- + +:: + + + + int pin = 7; + unsigned long duration; + + void setup() + { + pinMode(pin, INPUT); + } + + void loop() + { + duration = pulseIn(pin, HIGH); + } + + + + +.. include:: /lang/cc-attribution.txt |
