How is utime.sleep() realized?

[Hasenradball]

Hello Guys,

I would like to understand how is the sleep function (utime.sleep()) realized on hw.
Because if it is implemented as the same way like a delay() in Arduino style the controller stops all activity for the specific time.
Right?

Or is utime.sleep() realized in a other way?

That's right - if you want to do something smarter I would recommend taking a look at asyncio
