Random Wait Function

[didiersm]

HI
Can we use a random seconds number with Pybricks
Many Thks

[laurensvalk]

from urandom import randint
from pybricks.tools import wait

# Wait between 500 and 2000 milliseconds
wait(randint(500, 2000))

# Or if you need much longer, for example 3 -- 15 seconds
wait(randint(3, 15) * 1000)

[didiersm]

Thanks it work perfectly.
It missed me the randint import

Is this available in the block editor @laurensvalk ?

[laurensvalk]

Yes! Here is an example of blinking the light on and off for random durations, so it looks a bit like the "busy writing" indicator on old hard disks 💻

A helpful answer with bonus nostalgia! Thank you!

I may have gotten the nostalgia part wrong though. Maybe it meant busy reading? I don't remember 😄
