timer= timerBegin(0, 80, true); This function returns a pointer to a structure of type hw_timer_t, which we will define as the timer global variable. We pass three values to this function, the first one is the timer to use.

r/esp32 on Reddit: Hardware timer, how to run once and restart again?

Guys
I have a DevKitC dev board, and I'm trying to set up a HW timer that I want to re-use under certain conditions. In other words, I don't want it to reload automatically, it should run once and then remain dormant until I enable it again. It seems to work the first time, but when I enable the timer a second time it fires immediately, without any delay. It seems I'm not resetting it properly, so that the counter starts from 0 again (?).
What I've tried is this:
initialize timer 0 in setup(), with a prescaler for 80MHz.
myTimer = timerBegin (0, 80, true); timerAttachInterrupt (myTimer, &isrMyTimer, true);
then when I want to use the timer I enable it as follows (for a duration of 3 seconds):
timerAlarmWrite(myTimer, 3000000), false); timerAlarmEnable(myTimer);
I am also trying to confirm the frequency to use for the timer, whether it is indeed 80MHz. I get the values as shown below for the different functions. Any thoughts on what they mean?
getCpuFrequencyMhz() 240 getXtalFrequencyMhz() 40 getApbFrequency() 80000000

I had some trouble with timers and alarms on my esp32 doit devboard. Spent many hours trying to debug, end of the days its a silicon issue with the REV0 chips. Not sure if this applies to you but more information can be found here: https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/issues/1313

I managed to get it working. The trick that worked for me was to reset the timer (counter) before each use, with the following statement: timerRestart() Below is a little pseudo sketch, only showing the relevant statements, to give you or anyone finding this post later, an idea of what worked for me. #include // only needed to get ESP32 frequency detail hw_timer_t * tmrTEST = NULL; // timer used for TESTING unsigned long lngTimerStart = 0; // system micro-seconds at timer start int tmrDuration = 5; // run timer for 5 seconds // Interrupt Service Routine called when TEST timer fires. void IRAM_ATTR isrTimerTEST() { Serial.print(" >>>>> TEST TIMER ISR: "); Serial.print( micros() ); Serial.print(" diff="); Serial.println((micros()-lngTimerStart)/1000/1000); } void setup() { Serial.begin(115200); ... // Set up TEST timer.. tmrTEST = timerBegin (1, 80, true); // use ESP32 Timer 1, pre-scale 80 (for 80MHz freq), count up. timerAttachInterrupt (tmrTEST, &isrTimerTEST, true); // attach the function to call when timer interrupt fires. Edge. Serial.print(" >> CPU Freq: "); Serial.println(getCpuFrequencyMhz()); Serial.print(" >> XTL Freq: "); Serial.println(getXtalFrequencyMhz()); Serial.print(" >> APB Freq: "); Serial.println(getApbFrequency()); ... } void loop() { ... if (tmrDuration > 0) { // initiate TEST timer. duration in micro-seconds. False to run once. timerAlarmWrite(tmrTEST, (tmrDuration * 1000000), false); timerRestart(tmrTEST); // reset timer counter timerAlarmEnable(tmrTEST); // start the timer lngTimerStart = micros(); Serial.print(" >>>>> TimerTEST dur="); Serial.print(tmrDuration); Serial.print(" start: "); Serial.println( lngTimerStart ); } ... } Thanks for your replies and time !
