Is it safe to call Thread.sleep() in LinearOpMode

[Evergreen]

To simplify the implementation, we would like to use Thread.sleep() in our subsystems for a short period of time. Is this safe? What's the recommended way to implement wait() without using a loop in the opmode.

Well it won't crash your program, however, if the stop button is pressed on the DS while your code is on a Thread.sleep() call, the RC will force crash your program and restart. Using the SDK's built-in sleep() call fixes that IIRC

Is seep() available only in opmode? We want to use sleep in non op class but can

Yes, it is a method of LinearOpMode. You can pass in your LinearOpMode to another class's constructor or method if you want to call sleep() in that class.

Thanks. Will try in next meeting

If your program doesn't need the thread open you can use the ElapsedTime object as a timer

you could also theoretically use this code as it's the same code from the LinearOpMode class for either of those I recommend you make a method
try { Thread.sleep(milliseconds); } catch (InterruptedException e) { Thread.currentThread().interrupt(); }
