Is there a good way to artificially add time to the millis() value? What I’ve tried so far hasn’t worked. I have a project that uses millis() for timing, but also disables interrupts often enough that millis() loses significant time. I’m trying to find a way to mitigate that by adding time back to …

I’ve done this with Arduino to calibrate the clock depending on temperature: Off the top of my head: x=somevalue; d=1000; //1 sec n++; if (n%x==0) d++; //or d– delay(d);

I believe the fix for millis() running slow is a relatively easy one - I’ll try to get that in for 0.5.0

Ha, yeah, it’d definitely be nicer if millis didnt run slow in the first place. But I’m also fine with fudging it if it’d let me. :slight_smile:
