I’m playing with EZBlock and our Picar-X, very cool! However, my main loop is getting a bit slow, and I’d like to offload some operations to a separate thread. I see blocks for threading in EZBlock Studio, but no documentation on how to use them. Could you provide an example? (I am an experienced programmer and understand multi-threading. I just don’t understand the syntax in EZBlock) ---

Ezblock’s Block is directly escaped into Python and then run. thread is python threading. this is a simple example: ![122502](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/sunfounder/original/1X/8a688a29ce581fd2f306b94df4250bd142c1bf2b.png) Note that Threading Method is a function name that is filled in directly as a string. It should correspond to the function name below. Also note that the function name should conform to the python function naming convention. ---

Thanks! However, I think I’m still doing something wrong. I replicated your example: > **[Screenshot\_20231228-113819\_EzBlock Studio.jpg](https://drive.google.com/file/d/11p57FMKf4dPFARlsxVhdBh0A_FJ-v_ZK/view?usp=drivesdk)** > > Google Drive file. But when I run it I get: > **[Screenshot\_20231228-113905\_EzBlock Studio.jpg](https://drive.google.com/file/d/11qH1_3c9sU0E2U4w4DtLdeWFvDzESUji/view?usp=drivesdk)** > > Google Drive file. I’m running EZBlock Studio 1.2.4 on Android. ---

I’m very sorry for the incorrect positional organization, please follow as shown. ![122901](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/sunfounder/original/1X/0b62cde602d9adb7187e5f88ff146d53919d7b55.png) ---

Got it, thanks! (I put the ultrasound sensor in its own thread. It was taking quite some time per cycle, probably just waiting for some interrupt of the return signall ---

I don’t quite understand your question, what kind of problem are you encountering? Please provide us with a picture of the problem, or send us the code block you need to execute, so that we can analyze and solve the problem. ---

Sorry for the confusion. Putting the function at the top solved the problem, and all is working as intended.
