How to create an infinite loop with a manual exit

JohnSal

I'm using UIFlow v2.4.2 and want to run the flashlight continuously without the current 100 cycle limit. Is there a way to trigger an infinite loop that I can break manually? Any ideas, examples or suggestions would be great!

@JohnSal flashlight code inside function, function in the loop?

@robski can not drag it into the loop, it is outside

Just as an idea, code not tested:
Avoid to loop somewhere except the main loop!

Setup:

Create a variable called "Button" to enable/disable the flash function
Create a variable called "Blink" for the current state of the light
Start a timer

Button clicked:

Invert the state of "Button"

Main Loop:

If Button is TRUE, start the timer
else (If it is FALSE) stop the timer
your other code doing somewhat

Timer0:

Blink the LCD (or whatever you want) using the "Blink" variable
