My objective is to write a shell script to periodically turn off and on my phone's flashlight (about 1 kHz or 500Hz). My phone is rooted. So I gained superuser shell access (#)
These are the files under my

I was able to modify the content of the

I was able to clock into a period of about 1-3ms by writing a bash script, that echoes brightness 100 followed by sleep and then echoes 0 brightness
Script:
sys/class/leds/flashlight
whyred:/sys/class/leds/flashlight # ls
brightness device max_brightness power subsystem trigger uevent

file and was able to manually switch off and on my flashlight. However, I want to periodically switch on and off with a delay and for that, I need a timer trigger. But within the trigger
file above, there is no delay section indicated. There was just some contents within the file (no numbers)
whyred:/sys/class/leds/flashlight # cat trigger

while [ 1 le 100]
do
echo "100" > ~/sys/class/leds/brightness
sleep(0.001)
echo "100" > ~/sys/class/leds/brightness)
sleep(0.001)
done # end
But I want at least a 1 kHz frequency, so a timer is the one, sleep function is not advisable.
How can I about attaining my objective?
