Timing Doubt

[farar]

Hi, I have a doubt, I need to start "x" sequence when the system time every 5 minutes, for example when the time 1:00, 1:05, 1:10, etc...How I can do that?, I try with a loop while, but my system going very slow, I hope sombody support me!!

If your system goes slow it is probably because you made an infinite loop without any delay() in it. Here's how you do what you want:

private nexttime = floor(systime() / 300) * 300 + 300
// nexttime is now the next even 5 minute mark.  300 is 5 minutes in seconds.  To do, say 10 minutes, change to 600.
while(1)
   waituntil(nexttime)
   beginseq(myseq)
   nexttime += 300
endwhile
