.. highlight:: cpp .. _lang-micros: micros() ======== Returns the number of microseconds since the Maple board began running the current program. This number will overflow (go back to zero), after approximately 70 minutes. .. note:: There are 1,000 microseconds in a millisecond, and 1,000,000 microseconds in a second. Library Documentation --------------------- .. doxygenfunction:: micros Example ------- :: unsigned int time; void setup() { } void loop() { SerialUSB.print("Time: "); time = micros(); // prints time since program started SerialUSB.println(time); // wait a second so as not to send massive amounts of data delay(1000); } See Also -------- - :ref:`millis() <lang-millis>` - :ref:`delay() <lang-delay>` - :ref:`delayMicroseconds() <lang-delaymicroseconds>` .. include:: cc-attribution.txt
