Input needs to on for defined time before action

Technical Questions

Hi, I have found several ways to carry out an action if an input is on for a certain amount of time.
I’m wondering if there is an easy way though, what methods do you use?
Thanks.

In a thread:

if(input_is_pressed) {
    time_variable = time_variable + get_steptime()
    if(time_variable >= my_threshold) {
        do_something()
    }
} else {
    time_variable = 0
}

Probably something like that. You could leave the conditional processing somewhere else in the code as long as you define time_variable for global use.

I would do it like this, using UR commands. :slight_smile: Or placed in a thread like Eric. Depends on your application.
