pause Until

Pause the current part of the program until a condition becomes true.

pauseUntil(() => true)

Sometimes you need to wait in one part of a program for something to happen somewhere else in the program. This is done by pausing until some condition elsewhere becomes true. Such a condition could be a value you set in an event block or a function that returns a boolean.

Parameters

• condition: a boolean condition that restarts the program when it becomes true.
• timeOut: an optional paramenter which is a number of milliseconds to wait for the condition to become true. The pause ends when the timeout has elapsed even if condition is still false.

Example

Wait on a five second timer function.

function waitFiveSeconds() : boolean {
    for (let i = 0; i < 5000; i++) {
        control.waitMicros(1000)
    }
    return true
}
pauseUntil(() => waitFiveSeconds())
