<![CDATA[Delay]]>Hello! I am wondering how to replace delay with millis, the delay pauses the module which I do not want, I'd like to do other stuff while something is counting for example.

But this may not work properly with all modules included in micropython firmware. You need also micropython version 1.14.

Use timers to implement non-blocking code. Supported in Python and uiFlow.
