Timer1 help

Hi,

I need a way to start and stop the timer1 attach function in my loop.
The function:

 Timer1.attachInterrupt(myFunction, Period)

is declared in the setup routine. I have the period to 1000 micro seconds, because I need this myFunction to run every ms. However I need a way to enable and disable this functionality of timer1 in my loop routine.

Any ideas? or a better way?

Thanks

Any ideas?

Well, that would depend on what Timer1 is an instance of. We don't do snippets here.

This is timer1:

That page lists methods like start() and stop(). They appear, to me, to be what you need to start and stop your timer. Obviously, stopped timers stop firing their events.
