I'm using MsTimer2 to process messages at specific intervals, so I need to call MsTimer2::set() repeatedly so I can set different times. Perhaps this is the wrong library to use for this sort of thing but it's so convenient....
Anyway I found that my process just died when set was called a second time, until I tried calling set with 0 time and 0 funtion pointer, and it all started working fine!
Here's a snippet:
#include <MsTimer2.h>
unsigned long time;
volatile boolean timerSet=false;
void setup()
{
time = 1;
pinMode(13,OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(13,HIGH);
delay(1000);
digitalWrite(13,LOW);
delay(1000);
timerSet=false;
}
void loop()
{
if(!timerSet)
{
MsTimer2::set(0, 0);
time+=10;//increase our interval by 10 ms every time (arbitrary hack for demonstration purposes)
MsTimer2::set(time, DoAction);
MsTimer2::start();
timerSet=true;
}
}
void DoAction()
{
static boolean output = HIGH;
digitalWrite(13, output);
output = !output;
MsTimer2::stop();//we only want the timer to call once
timerSet=false;
}
