read_heading();
setTimeout(send_vibration, 300); // No brackets() after send_vibration!

Best is maybe to use a promise. You could probably do with setTimeout as well.

Okay, yeah, setTimeout sounds good ! How can I make it so that the reading only happen once every X seconds, too ? Wouldn't setTimeout make it run in loop and do the reading of the loop X seconds back ?

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
