Cheap Controls Episode 6, the get command, timing explained

In the episode, I the one and only Ed Malloy discuss this past week's videos. Answer a lucky listeners question and talk about the direction Cheap Controls is heading. We published two videos this week. In the first video we discuss the timing involved with a get request. We go into more than the effects of the get request. This video can be applied to other aspects of timing in the Arduino. Although this is in the Nextion wheelhouse this video is more related to the Arduino. When you are working with timing and asynchronous versus synchronous things can get a little confusing. We want to talk about some advanced topics we feel will help you with not only this project but other projects with similar coding situations. The second video finishes the timing aspects of the get request. We eliminate the final delay by using an "endswith" command. I discussed this a bit before because we considered using a "readuntil" command instead but found the command less straight forward than the "endswith" command. We wanted this video to focus on the timing and not get even more outside the bounds of the get command than we already were
