[image] Matt_TYGA: Does it just choose one itself? Apparently, take a look at the source code for 'timerBegin()' in esp32-hal-timer.c. You'll see that it eventually calls This API. Answer from gfvalvo on forum.arduino.cc

Esp32 timer question
Hi, I have a problem understanding the timer example found in the ESP32 arduino core 2.0.14. The code doesn't say which timer is being used as far as I can see.

How to use timer of in esp32?
I want to read remote control key values using a timer of esp32. The timer should count the total value of high and low pulses so i can generate the same pulses on the other side. I tried using the given "repeat timer " in the example but it is not working the same as i expected. More on forum.arduino.cc

ESP32 one-shot timers: how to?
Hi, I'm trying to define a one-time, re-triggerable timer on ESP32 using the Arduino-ESP32 Timer library from Espressif (Timer — Arduino-ESP32 2.0.6 documentation) but I don't get the behaviour that I'm expecting. The main idea is to start a timer for a given amount of time (say 5 seconds) ... More on forum.arduino.cc

ESP32 Timers & Timer Interrupt Tutorial (Arduino IDE) – DeepBlueMbedded
February 17, 2025 - The alarm register is set to 1000, whenever the timer counts up to 1000 (after 1ms), this will trigger an alarm event & an interrupt signal. Therefore, the Timer0_ISR() function is called every 1ms. The auto-reload will reload the Timer register with a 0 and it starts counting up to 1000 again and so on. Here is a list of the available ESP32 Timers APIs for Arduino Core users that you’ll most probably use in different projects.

If you use external libraries in your code, they may use timers. In this case, you must be careful not to choose one they already use; otherwise, your program will undoubtedly have bugs!
