ESP32 Multiple changing timer interrupts - Motorcycle CDI
Hi Guys, I have been using the code below to run my DIY CDI system. The code is working perfectly, What I'm doing is getting an external interrupt from the variable reluctance sensor (though a conditioning circuit). This external interrupt then start the process of waiting....charging a capacitor, ... More on forum.arduino.cc

Instead of 0 to 10, they count from 0 to (2^N -1), N being the number of bits of the counter. Thus, an 8-bit counter will count from 0 to 255, a 16-bit counter will count from 0 to 65535, and so on. ESP32 has two timer groups, each group containing two 64-bit timers.
