Delay for given number of milliseconds, should be positive or 0. Delay for given number of milliseconds, should be positive or 0.
This function will delay for at least the given number of milliseconds, but
may take longer than that if other processing must take place, for example
interrupt handlers or other threads. Passing in 0 for *ms* will still allow
this other processing to occur. Use `sleep_us()` for more precise delays.

Delay for given number of microseconds, should be positive or 0. Delay for given number of microseconds, should be positive or 0.
This function attempts to provide an accurate delay of at least *us*
microseconds, but it may take longer if the system has other higher priority
processing to perform.
