<description>
Forces the program to stop running for a specified time. Delay times are specified in thousandths of a second. The function call <b>delay(3000)</b> will stop the program for three seconds. This function causes the program to stop as soon as it is called, except if the program is running the loop() for the first time, it will complete the loop before stopping.
