Since I came out of the real-time software world, I would use a processor timer interrupt as you pointed out. However, most of the Arduino world wouldn't understand event driven code if they tripped over it. They use delay() which is blocking - a bad idea.

I participated in the Open Source Ventilator Project in connection with the University of Florida. The Delay() loop people won out and ran off a contributor that had developed an event driven design because they didn't understand it and didn't want to learn. The end result was a working $200 ventilator, out for manufacture, with some really nasty delay() loops. Good luck with maintenance...

There's never enough time to do it right, but always enough time to do it over...
