<![CDATA[How to create an infinite loop with a manual exit]]>I'm using UIFlow v2.4.2 and want to run the flashlight continuously without the current 100 cycle limit. Is there a way to trigger an infinite loop that I can break manually? Any ideas, examples or suggestions would be great!

Just as an idea, code not tested:
Avoid to loop somewhere except the main loop!

Setup:

  • Create a variable called "Button" to enable/disable the flash function
  • Create a variable called "Blink" for the current state of the light
  • Start a timer

Button clicked:

  • Invert the state of "Button"

Main Loop:

  • If Button is TRUE, start the timer
  • else (If it is FALSE) stop the timer
  • your other code doing somewhat

Timer0:

  • Blink the LCD (or whatever you want) using the "Blink" variable
