vTaskDelay() vS. Delay()

Postby basinus » Sat Jul 08, 2017 5:30 pm

What is the difference between both? Why should i use

Code: Select all

portTICK_PERIOD_MS = 10;
vTaskDelay(1000 / portTICK_PERIOD_MS);
// 1000/10 = 100 Ticks 
instead of Delay(1000)? And what is exactly one tick?

Where do you get the Delay() function from? It's not part of ESP-IDF.

Delay is an arduino function wrapper that calls vtaskdelay. You should use it if you are using arduino, and also you should post in the arduino forum.

A tick is what you configure it to be. THE TICK is a new Netflix show.
