ESP32 Forum

Hi,
I'm using esp-idf and would like to create a simple timer with the following properties:
* Should run for 1sec
* Should not generate interrupts
* I will check periodically if the timer has finished
* I'd like to use a hardware timer if possible
* If the timer finished and I check for it I will restart it manually

I've started looking around and tinkering with the example over on GitHub but I was not able to produce anything working.

Does somebody know an example matching my needs?

What is your use case? Depending on the need for precision, you may not even need a timer but can just check esp_timer_get_time() and wait until the result is 1e6 higher than when you first checked it.

Yes, using esp_timer_get_time() is a great solution.
Thanks!
