countdown timer using interrupts - ESP32 Forum
September 26, 2022 - - timer counting down: timer starts at 1000000 microseconds and when it reaches the alarm value (0 microseconds) the interrupt is triggered. So in your example you start the countdown timer at 10000 microseconds and wait for it to reach the alarm time of (1000000 microseconds).

Trying to switch to a different countdown timer on TickTwo.h library but it can only run either one of them
The word pomodoro doesn't mean anything to people. Perhaps you could explain your concept without using that term. So what are you trying to do? Make a system that alerts you after 25 minutes, then after 5 minutes and repeats this cycle? The esp32 core has a 64 bit internal timer that counts elapsed microseconds. That's not going to overflow in the next 100000 years. Does this help? More on reddit.com

Once the timer is enabled, its counter starts running. To enable the timer, call the function timer_init() with counter_en set to true, or call timer_start(). You can specify the timer’s initial counter value by calling timer_set_counter_value().

r/esp32 on Reddit: ESP32-2424S012 countdown stopwatch project
February 10, 2025 -

Here is my latest project it is a minimal countdown timer. The time is set by swiping (it's a bit glitchy) a tap to start the timer. Screen flashes red once halfway through the countdown and flashed 3 times at the end. After 60 seconds of inactivity on the "home screen" it turns off and can be turned on by pressing the "key button" which is linked to the battery. I have posted my code in the comments, any opinions on how I might improve the code or features i could add or anything are greatfully accepted.
