I am looking for a way to instantiate and control two one shot timers to operate two garage door openers. The garage door openers use a clunky latching relay and need about 100 ms to fully engage.
If someone knows how to operate Timemark.h or some other library, that would be huge!
At first I tried to work with debounce and an assortment of timers to first debouce the input pin, set the door operating pin to HIGH then start the timer to time out.
The one shot timer functions need to work independently of one another
Thanks
