millis() and/or micros() in MikroBasic Pro 6.1.0 for AVR

[oladiladio]

I would like to use these (Arduino)functions in Basic programs.

Who can point my nose in the right direction?

Thanks in advance!

I've never touched Basic languages on MCUs, but if like in C they can use inline assembler, I'd simply count cycles and use use an inner/outter loop setup containing dummy "nop" instructions. Or if you have access to timers, you can use those, basic comparison with overflow check.

Arduino millis and micros functions are handled through ATmega328  timer0 and relative interrupt.
In Mikroelektronika compilers there is nothing equivalent.

If no better methods are available, you could still use a loop in Basic, and toggle an IO on start and end, time it with your scope and tune in the number of loops. Should AFAIK be fairly consistent given that the MCU speed, compiler version and code optimization level stays the same. Hardly a pretty solution though... FWIW, if you don't even have access to timers, I'd frankly move on to C...
