  1. Great doc. The only thing I’d add is an embellishment to the Timer.periodic. Basically it’s quite common to “keep waiting until a condition is true”, which you can do by using myTimer = Timer.periodic(…{checkCondition()}) and having checkCondition, if the condition is true, cancelling myTimer.
