Scripting JS help

[nagup]

So I know the scripting interface uses javascript. I am trying to write a script that is basically 4 messages, with different intervals between them.

I dont know how to do this because it seems the scripting interface doesn't recognise set timeout and other ways to delay. How can I do this?

To be specific I am trying to send

Data: FD FF Wait for 90ms to 100ms.

Data: FC FF Wait for 158ms to 160ms.

Data: FC FF Wait for 158ms to 160ms.

Data: FC FF Completion of the Sequence.

You can set a single timer afaik, so in the setup method set it to the lowest granularity needed, and then track the time in the tick function.

Something like

// global variables to keep track of state
var tickIntervalMillis = 2
var count = 0
var currentMillis = 0
var lastSendMillis = 0

function setup () {
    host.log("Send test")
    can.setFilter(...)
    can.sendFrame(<FD FF frame here>)
    host.setTickInterval(tickIntervalMillis)
}

// runs every 2 ms
function tick () {
    currentMillis = Date.now()
    const interval = currentMillis - lastSendMillis

    // send based on state and time passed
     if ( count == 0 && interval > 90) {
      sendFCFF()
    } else if ( count == 1 && interval > 158) {
      sendFCFF()
    } else if ( count == 2 && interval > 158) {
      sendFCFF()
    } 
}

function send () {
      can.sendFrame(<FC FF frame here>)
      count++
      lastSend = currentMillis
}
