Hi Wade,

You can use the "seconds()" function which reports elapsed time, plus
a variable to keep track of when the loop should end:

void main() {
    float end_time;

    end_time= seconds() + 20.;    /* go for 20 seconds */

    while (seconds() < end_time) {
/* body of the loop goes here */
    }
}

Good luck,
Fred
