Exit of repeat with two conditions

Unsoundcode

Hi to all, what would be the best way to to write a repeat loop that I can exit based on a value condition or elapsed time condition.

This is kind of what I want

repeat
·· some code
until value==x or time_elapsed==100mS

probably simple but I can't get it

thanks in advance

What you wrote is what you need. You do have to define what you mean by "time_elapsed". Here's an example from FullDuplexSerial:

PUB rxtime(ms) : rxbyte | t

'' Wait ms milliseconds for a byte to be received
'' returns -1 if no byte received, $00..$FF if byte

  t := cnt
  repeat until (rxbyte := rxcheck) => 0 or (cnt - t) / (clkfreq / 1000) > ms
     ?long[noparse][[/noparse]def#randomSeed]

Unsoundcode

Thank you Mike, you hit the nail on the head. I have been using FullDuplex.spin I now realize that FullDuplexSerial.spin is a more recent version.
