A simple timer for Arduino
- Place the folder lmTimer into your Arduino library folder.
- Restart Arduino IDE
- Include the library at your source code with
#include <lmTimer.h> - Initialize the lmTimer instance with
lmTimer lckT(20);
Within your loop function just check if your timer reached the defined period:
if(lckT.checkTime() == 1)
{
//Do whatever you want
}
I know there are much more sophisticated timers and yes i also know there are interupts which can be used. But for simple projects i found this little program quite useful.
