ESP32 Timer Interrupt
Hi Folks, I am using Esp32 Dev Module to develop the timer interrupt code .but when I am using timerBegin() function I am getting errors like that: timerBegin() function can accept only one argument.Please help me out this problem.For you reference I am posting my code. More on forum.arduino.cc

Setting up multiple timers with the new API
I have a program using the old API calls to the hardware timer functions for an ESP32. Uses something like this and works great. timer = timerBegin( 3, 80, true ); timerAttachInterrupt( timer, &onTimer, true ); timerAlarmWrite(timer, 1000, true); timerAlarmEnable(timer); Under the new API how ...

Programming timer interruption
I'm posting here a simple project to create an interrupt timer on an ESP32 board for version 3.1.1 by Esspressif Systems. I had difficulties to find updated information to make this code, I hope it can be useful to someone ! This code creates an interrupt every 100ms and counts the number of ... More on forum.arduino.cc

Converting 2.0.17 Timer code to 3.0+ - ESP32 Forum
I am attempting to upgrade some code written with the older Timer library for the esp32 2.17.0 Arduino library that looks something like this: ``` askRequestTimer = timerBegin(0, 80, true); timerAttachInterrupt(askRequestTimer, &onAskReqTimer, true); timerAlarmWrite(askRequestTimer, 5*1000000, true);//send out an ask every 5 secs timerAlarmEnable(askRequestTimer); askExpireTimer = timerBegin(1, 80, true); timerAttachInterrupt(askExpireTimer, &onAskExpireTimer, true); timerAlarmWrite(askExpireTimer, expireLength*1000000, true); timerAlarmEnable(askExpireTimer); timerStop(askExpireTimer); ``` Give the changes outlined here https://docs.espressif.com/projects/ard ...
