ESP32 Timers & Timer Interrupt Tutorial (Arduino IDE) – DeepBlueMbedded
February 17, 2025 - The 16-Bit prescaler can divide the APB_CLK by a factor from 2 to 65536. When you set the prescaler value to be either 1 or 2, the clock divisor is 2; when you set the prescaler to 0, the clock divisor is 65536.

Prescalers are used for dividing the base clock frequency (usually 80 MHz). The divided frequency is provided to the timer counter for increment or decrement.

Timer divider and frequency - ESP32 Forum
Thu Sep 12, 2019 1:45 pm An 80MHz APB Clock is fed into the entire Timer Group. Each timer then takes 80MHz APB clock and divides it down via the prescaler to a frequency of their own liking. How much the 80MHz clock is divided down by is determined by the value set in the prescaler (i.e.

Hello Hadi, In your case, you want the Timer1 interrupt to be triggered in 2 hours (7200 seconds) after it is set, and Timer2 interrupt in 1 hour (3600 seconds). Therefore, I’d advise a high value of a prescalar. In the article, I’ve set the prescalar to 80.

As as example, ESP32 has 4 Timers available, which are split in two different groups (TIM0_G0, TIM1_G0, TIM0_G1 and TIM1_G1). In order to use one of the available timers on your application add a <board>.overlay file with contents as below &timer0 { status = "okay"; prescaler = <10>; }; From the above, setting 'status' is required while the prescaler is optional.
