Timer Example ​(3.0 branch only)

​timer 5000, [do.some.stuff] 
print "going to do some stuff in a bit" 
button "Click me to exit", [Exit.ThisThing] 
wait 

[do.some.stuff] 
print "Doing Some Stuff" 
wait 

[Exit.ThisThing] 
end 

A timer lets you execute a branch at a regular interval. 

In this example the timer will fire ever 5 seconds and print some text to your browser window. 

​This is useful if you need to take a sensor measurement or do some other task periodically.
