Hi,
You can use tic and toc for this. When you run tic it starts a stopwatch style timer, you can then use toc to know the elapsed time and use a while loop to check if it is still less than your desired elapsed time.
Following is an example illustration
timelimit1 = (4*0.5+2)*10;
timelimit2 = 1*10;
start = tic;
while toc(start) < timelimit1
% Case 1
% Turn on one-by-one with 0.5 delay
writeDigitalPin(a,'D8',1);
pause(0.5);
writeDigitalPin(a,'D9',1);
pause(0.5);........
% Adopt for all 5 LED pins
pause(0.5);
% Turn all 5 lights on
writeDigitalPin(a,'D8',1);
writeDigitalPin(a,'D9',1);........
% Adopt for all 5 LED pins
pause(2);
%Put every pin to off state
end
start = tic;
while toc(start) < timelimit2
% Case 2
% Turn all 5 lights on
writeDigitalPin(a,'D8',1);
writeDigitalPin(a,'D9',1);........
% Adopt for all 5 LED pins
pause(1);
%Put every pin to off state
end
Thanks
