Colleagues, does anyone know how to initialize a timer on a Raspberry Pi Pico and describe it as a source of software interrupts? There was a library on the Github, but now it is described as archived and is not is compiled on the current IDE. I will be grateful for advice, Ogogon. ---

This is an Ardunio forum, not raspberry pi. ---

By the way, if you use Earle Philhower package - you can to call Pico SDK functions directly from your arduino code. Look at the Pico examples: > > > //github.com/raspberrypi/pico-examples/tree/master/timer ---
