Why do we need this TimerInterrupt_Generic library

Features

This library enables you to use Interrupt from Hardware Timers on supported Arduino boards such as AVR, Mega-AVR, ESP8266, ESP32, SAMD, SAM DUE, nRF52, STM32F/L/H/G/WB/MP1, Teensy, Nano-33-BLE, etc.

As Hardware Timers are rare, and very precious assets of any board, this library now enables you to use up to 16 ISR-based Timers, while consuming only 1 Hardware Timer. Timers' interval is very long (ulong millisecs).

Why using ISR-based Hardware Timer Interrupt is better

Imagine you have a system with a mission-critical function, measuring water level and control the sump pump or doing something much more important. You normally use a software timer to poll, or even place the function in loop(). But what if another function is blocking the loop() or setup().

So your function might not be executed on-time or not at all, and the result would be disastrous.

You'd prefer to have your function called, no matter what happening with other functions (busy loop, bug, etc.).

The correct choice is to use a Hardware Timer with Interrupt to call your function.

These hardware timers, using interrupt, still work even if other functions are blocking. Moreover, they are much more precise (certainly depending on clock frequency accuracy) than other software timers using millis() or micros(). That's necessary if you need to measure some data requiring better accuracy.

Functions using normal software timers, relying on loop() and calling millis(), won't work if the loop() or setup() is blocked by certain operation. For example, certain function is blocking while it's connecting to WiFi or some services.

The catch is your function is now part of an ISR (Interrupt Service Routine), and must be lean / mean, and follow certain rules. More to read on:

HOWTO Attach Interrupt

Notes for Teensy boards

You'd certainly experienced that if using other Hardware Timer Libraries, such as TimerOne or TimerThree, the interval is short, in milliseconds range.

For example, Teensy 4.x, with super-high clock frequency of 600MHz and Timer1 and Timer3 clock of 150MHz, the maximum interval / frequency is only 55922.3467 us / 17.881939 Hz. This Teensy_TimerInterrupt library will provide you up to 16 super-long (ulong millisecs) ISR Timers for each used Timer1 or Timer3.

For Teensy 4.x, this library will be expanded to use other available hardware timers, such as FTM, GPT, QUAD, PIT, in addition to current Timer1 and Timer3.

Important Notes about ISR

  1. Inside the attached function, delay() won’t work and the value returned by millis() will not increment. Serial data received while in the function may be lost. You should declare as volatile any variables that you modify within the attached function.

  2. Typically global variables are used to pass data between an ISR and the main program. To make sure variables shared between an ISR and the main program are updated correctly, declare them as volatile.

HOWTO Fix Multiple Definitions Linker Error

The current library implementation, using xyz-Impl.h instead of standard xyz.cpp, possibly creates certain Multiple Definitions Linker error in certain use cases. Although it's simple to just modify several lines of code, either in the library or in the application, the library is adding 2 more source directories

  1. scr_h for new h-only files
  2. src_cpp for standard h/cpp files

besides the standard src directory.

To use the old standard cpp way, locate this library' directory, then just

  1. Delete the all the files in src directory.
  2. Copy all the files in src_cpp directory into src.
  3. Close then reopen the application code in Arduino IDE, etc. to recompile from scratch.

To re-use the new h-only way, just

  1. Delete the all the files in src directory.
  2. Copy the files in src_h directory into src.
  3. Close then reopen the application code in Arduino IDE, etc. to recompile from scratch.


HOWTO Use analogRead() with ESP32 running WiFi and/or BlueTooth (BT/BLE)

Please have a look at ESP_WiFiManager Issue 39: Not able to read analog port when using the autoconnect example to have more detailed description and solution of the issue.

1. ESP32 has 2 ADCs, named ADC1 and ADC2

2. ESP32 ADCs functions

  • ADC1 controls ADC function for pins GPIO32-GPIO39
  • ADC2 controls ADC function for pins GPIO0, 2, 4, 12-15, 25-27

3.. ESP32 WiFi uses ADC2 for WiFi functions

Look in file adc_common.c

In ADC2, there're two locks used for different cases:

  1. lock shared with app and Wi-Fi: ESP32: When Wi-Fi using the ADC2, we assume it will never stop, so app checks the lock and returns immediately if failed. ESP32S2: The controller's control over the ADC is determined by the arbiter. There is no need to control by lock.

  2. lock shared between tasks: when several tasks sharing the ADC2, we want to guarantee all the requests will be handled. Since conversions are short (about 31us), app returns the lock very soon, we use a spinlock to stand there waiting to do conversions one by one.

adc2_spinlock should be acquired first, then adc2_wifi_lock or rtc_spinlock.

  • In order to use ADC2 for other functions, we have to acquire complicated firmware locks and very difficult to do
  • So, it's not advisable to use ADC2 with WiFi/BlueTooth (BT/BLE).
  • Use ADC1, and pins GPIO32-GPIO39
  • If somehow it's a must to use those pins serviced by ADC2 (GPIO0, 2, 4, 12, 13, 14, 15, 25, 26 and 27), use the fix mentioned at the end of ESP_WiFiManager Issue 39: Not able to read analog port when using the autoconnect example to work with ESP32 WiFi/BlueTooth (BT/BLE).

HOWTO Use PWM analogWrite() with ESP8266 running Timer1 Interrupt

Please have a look at ESP8266TimerInterrupt Issue 8: ESP8266Timer and PWM --> wdt reset to have more detailed description and solution of the issue.

1. ESP8266 has only 2 hardware timers, named Timer0 and Timer1

2. ESP8266 hardware timers' functions

  • Timer0 has been used for WiFi and it's not advisable to use while using WiFi (if not using WiFi, why select ESP8266 ??)
  • Timer1 is used by this ESP8266TimerInterrupt Library

3. How to use PWM analogWrite() functions while using this library

  1. If possible, use software timer instead of ESP8266TimerInterrupt Hardware Timer1
  2. If using ESP8266TimerInterrupt Hardware Timer1 is a must, you can either


More useful Information

1. For ESP32

  • The ESP32, ESP32_S2 and ESP32_S3 has two timer groups, each one with two general purpose hardware timers.
  • The ESP32_C3 has two timer groups, each one with only one general purpose hardware timer.
  • All the timers are based on 64-bit counters (except 54-bit counter for ESP32_S3 counter) and 16-bit prescalers.
  • The timer counters can be configured to count up or down and support automatic reload and software reload.
  • They can also generate alarms when they reach a specific value, defined by the software.
  • The value of the counter can be read by the software program.

2. Notes for ESP8266

The ESP8266 timers are badly designed, using only 23-bit counter along with maximum 256 prescaler. They're only better than UNO / Mega.

The ESP8266 has two hardware timers, but timer0 has been used for WiFi and it's not advisable to use. Only timer1 is available.

The timer1's 23-bit counter terribly can count only up to 8,388,607. So the timer1 maximum interval is very short. Using 256 prescaler, maximum timer1 interval is only 26.843542 seconds !!!

The timer1 counters can be configured to support automatic reload.


3. For Arduino AVR

From Arduino 101: Timers and Interrupts

3.1. Timer0:

Timer0 is a 8-bit timer.

In the Arduino world timer0 is been used for the timer functions, like delay(), millis() and micros(). If you change Timer0 registers, this may influence the Arduino timer function. So you should know what you are doing.

3.2. Timer1:

Timer1 is a 16-bit timer. In the Arduino world the Servo library uses timer1 on Arduino Uno (Timer5 on Arduino Mega).

3.3. Timer2:

Timer2 is a 8-bit timer like Timer0. In the Arduino work the tone() function uses Timer2.

3.4. Timer3, Timer4, Timer5:

Timer 3,4,5 are only available on Arduino Mega boards. These timers are all 16-bit timers.


4. For STM32F/L/H/G/WB/MP1

The Timers of STM32s are numerous, yet very sophisticated and powerful.

In general, across the STM32 microcontrollers families, the timer peripherals that have the same name also have the same features set, but there are a few exceptions.

For example, the TIM1 timer peripheral is shared across the STM32F1 Series, STM32F2 Series and STM32F4 Series, but for the specific case of STM32F30x microcontrollers family, the TIM1 timer peripheral features a bit richer features set than the TIM1 present in the other families.

The general purpose timers embedded by the STM32 microcontrollers share the same backbone structure; they differ only on the level of features embedded by a given timer peripheral.

The level of features integration for a given timer peripheral is decided based on the applications field that it targets.

The timer peripherals can be classified as: • Advanced-configuration timers like TIM1 and TIM8 among others. • General-purpose configuration timers like TIM2 and TIM3 among others • Lite-configuration timers like TIM9, TIM10, TIM12 and TIM16 among others • Basic-configuration timers like TIM6 and TIM7 among others.

For example, STM32F103C8T6 has one advance timer, while STM32F103VET6 has two advanced timers. Nucleo-144 STM32F767ZI boards have 14 Timers, TIM1-TIM14.

More information can be found at Embedded-Lab STM32 TIMERS

To be sure which Timer is available for the board you're using, check the Core Package's related files. For example, for Nucleo-144 STM32F767ZI, check these files:

  1. ~/.arduino15/packages/STM32/hardware/stm32/1.9.0/system/Drivers/CMSIS/Device/ST/STM32F7xx/Include/stm32f7xx.h

5.2 Timer TCB0-TCB3

TCB0-TCB3 are 16-bit timers.



New from v1.1.0

Now with these new 16 ISR-based timers (while consuming only 1 hardware timer), the maximum interval is practically unlimited (limited only by unsigned long milliseconds). The accuracy is nearly perfect compared to software timers. The most important feature is they're ISR-based timers Therefore, their executions are not blocked by bad-behaving functions / tasks. This important feature is absolutely necessary for mission-critical tasks.

The ISR_16_Timers_Array_Complex and ISR_16_Timers_Array_Complex examples will demonstrate the nearly perfect accuracy compared to software timers by printing the actual elapsed millisecs of each type of timers. Being ISR-based timers, their executions are not blocked by bad-behaving functions / tasks, such as connecting to WiFi, Internet and Blynk services. You can also have many (up to 16) timers to use. This non-being-blocked important feature is absolutely necessary for mission-critical tasks. You'll see blynkTimer Software is blocked while system is connecting to WiFi / Internet / Blynk, as well as by blocking task in loop(), using delay() function as an example. The elapsed time then is very unaccurate



Usage for ESP32

Before using any Timer, you have to make sure the Timer has not been used by any other purpose.

Timer0, Timer1, Timer2 and Timer3 are supported for ESP32.


Usage for NRF52

Before using any Timer, you have to make sure the Timer has not been used by any other purpose.

1. Using only Hardware Timer directly

1.1 Init Hardware Timer

// Depending on the board, you can select NRF52 Hardware Timer from NRF_TIMER_1-NRF_TIMER_4 (1 to 4)
// If you select the already-used NRF_TIMER_0, it'll be auto modified to use NRF_TIMER_1

// Init NRF52 timer NRF_TIMER1
NRF52Timer ITimer(NRF_TIMER_1);

1.2 Set Hardware Timer Interval and attach Timer Interrupt Handler function

void TimerHandler()
{
  // Doing something here inside ISR
}

#define TIMER_INTERVAL_MS        1000      // 1s = 1000ms
void setup()
{
  ....
  
  // Interval in microsecs
  if (ITimer.attachInterruptInterval(TIMER_INTERVAL_MS * 1000, TimerHandler0))
    Serial.println("Starting  ITimer OK, millis() = " + String(millis()));
  else
    Serial.println("Can't set ITimer. Select another freq. or timer");
}  

2. Using 16 ISR_based Timers from 1 Hardware Timers

2.1 Init Hardware Timer and ISR-based Timer

/// Depending on the board, you can select NRF52 Hardware Timer from NRF_TIMER_1-NRF_TIMER_4 (1 to 4)
// If you select the already-used NRF_TIMER_0, it'll be auto modified to use NRF_TIMER_1

// Init NRF52 timer NRF_TIMER2
NRF52Timer ITimer(NRF_TIMER_2);

// Init NRF52_ISR_Timer
// Each NRF52_ISR_Timer can service 16 different ISR-based timers
ISR_Timer NRF52_ISR_Timer;

2.2 Set Hardware Timer Interval and attach Timer Interrupt Handler functions

void TimerHandler()
{
  NRF52_ISR_Timer.run();
}

#define HW_TIMER_INTERVAL_MS          50L

#define TIMER_INTERVAL_2S             2000L
#define TIMER_INTERVAL_5S             5000L
#define TIMER_INTERVAL_11S            11000L
#define TIMER_INTERVAL_101S           101000L

// In NRF52, avoid doing something fancy in ISR, for example complex Serial.print with String() argument
// The pure simple Serial.prints here are just for demonstration and testing. Must be eliminate in working environment
// Or you can get this run-time error / crash
void doingSomething2s()
{
  // Doing something here inside ISR
}
  
void doingSomething5s()
{
  // Doing something here inside ISR
}

void doingSomething11s()
{
  // Doing something here inside ISR
}

void doingSomething101s()
{
  // Doing something here inside ISR
}

void setup()
{
  ....
  
  // Interval in microsecs
  if (ITimer.attachInterruptInterval(HW_TIMER_INTERVAL_MS * 1000, TimerHandler))
  {
    lastMillis = millis();
    Serial.println("Starting  ITimer OK, millis() = " + String(lastMillis));
  }
  else
    Serial.println("Can't set ITimer correctly. Select another freq. or interval");

  // Just to demonstrate, don't use too many ISR Timers if not absolutely necessary
  // You can use up to 16 timer for each ISR_Timer
  NRF52_ISR_Timer.setInterval(TIMER_INTERVAL_2S, doingSomething2s);
  NRF52_ISR_Timer.setInterval(TIMER_INTERVAL_5S, doingSomething5s);
  NRF52_ISR_Timer.setInterval(TIMER_INTERVAL_11S, doingSomething11s);
  NRF52_ISR_Timer.setInterval(TIMER_INTERVAL_101S, doingSomething101s);
}  

Usage for SAMD

Before using any Timer, you have to make sure the Timer has not been used by any other purpose.

1. Using only Hardware Timer directly

1.1 Init Hardware Timer

// Select only one to be true for SAMD21. Must must be placed at the beginning before #include "SAMDTimerInterrupt.h"
#define USING_TIMER_TC3         true      // Only TC3 can be used for SAMD51
#define USING_TIMER_TC4         false     // Not to use with Servo library
#define USING_TIMER_TC5         false
#define USING_TIMER_TCC         false
#define USING_TIMER_TCC1        false
#define USING_TIMER_TCC2        false     // Don't use this, can crash on some boards

// Uncomment To test if conflict with Servo library
//#include "Servo.h"

Debug

Debug is enabled by default on Serial.

You can also change the debugging level (TIMERINTERRUPT_LOGLEVEL) from 0 to 4

// These define's must be placed at the beginning before #include "TimerInterrupt_Generic.h"
// _TIMERINTERRUPT_LOGLEVEL_ from 0 to 4
// Don't define _TIMERINTERRUPT_LOGLEVEL_ > 0. Only for special ISR debugging only. Can hang the system.
#define TIMER_INTERRUPT_DEBUG         0
#define _TIMERINTERRUPT_LOGLEVEL_     0

Troubleshooting

If you get compilation errors, more often than not, you may need to install a newer version of the core for Arduino boards.

Sometimes, the library will only work if you update the board core to the latest version because I am using newly added functions.

About

This library enables you to use Interrupt from Hardware Timers on supported Arduino boards such as AVR, ESP8266, ESP32, SAMD, SAM DUE, nRF52, Teensy, etc. These Hardware Timers, using Interrupt, still work even if other functions are blocking. Moreover, they are much more precise (certainly depending on clock frequency accuracy) than other softw…
