TIMEDELAY(9)

✨ timedelay — HAL Component ✨

okay bestie, welcome to timedelay(9), a HAL component that's literally just a time-delay relay 🎀 no cap, that's the whole vibe.

---

💖 NAME 💖

timedelay — the equivalent of a time-delay relay. that's it. that's the girl. 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

loadrt timedelay [count=N|names=name1[,name2...]]

---

🦋 FUNCTIONS 🦋

• timedelay.N — this one requires a floating-point thread, so make sure your thread is giving float energy before you try to run it 💅

---

🎀 PINS 🎀

• timedelay.N.in bit in — the input, the moment, the whole plot.
• timedelay.N.out bit out — follows the value of in after applying the delays on-delay and off-delay. so it's not copying her immediately, it's copying her fashionably late 😌
• timedelay.N.on-delay float in (default: 0.5) — the time, in seconds, for which in must be true before out becomes true. so like, in has to prove herself for this long first ⏳
• timedelay.N.off-delay float in (default: 0.5) — the time, in seconds, for which in must be false before out becomes false. same energy, opposite direction 💀
• timedelay.N.elapsed float out — current value of the internal timer. she's the clock, she's keeping track, she's the main character of the countdown 👑

ngl the .N in all of these is just the instance number — load more than one and they each get their own little number, it's giving squad goals 🌈
