Example: General Purpose Timer

This example uses the timer group driver to generate timer interrupts at two specified alarm intervals.

How to Use Example

Hardware Required

  • A development board with ESP SoC (e.g., ESP32-DevKitC, ESP-WROVER-KIT, etc.)
  • A USB cable for Power supply and programming

Build and Flash

Run idf.py -p PORT flash monitor to build, flash and monitor the project.

(To exit the serial monitor, type Ctrl-].)

See the Getting Started Guide for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.

Functionality Overview

  • Two timers are configured
  • Each timer is set with some sample alarm interval
  • On reaching the interval value each timer will generate an alarm
  • One of the timers is configured to automatically reload it's counter value on the alarm
  • The other timer is configured to keep incrementing and is reloaded by the application each time the alarm happens
  • Alarms trigger subsequent interrupts, that is tracked with messages printed on the terminal:
