Timer Class¶
- class TimerClass : public Acroname::BrainStem::EntityClass¶
TimerClass: The Timer Class provides access to a simple scheduler. Reflex routines can be written which will be executed upon expiration of the timer entity. The timer can be set to fire only once, or to repeat at a certain interval.
Public Functions
- TimerClass(void)¶
Constructor.
- ~TimerClass(void)¶
Destructor.
- void init(Module *pModule, const uint8_t index)¶
Initialize the class.
- Parameters:
pModule – The module to which this entity belongs.
index – The index of the timer entity.
- aErr getExpiration(uint32_t *usecDuration)¶
Get the currently set expiration time in microseconds. This is not a “live” timer. That is, it shows the expiration time originally set with setExpiration; it does not “tick down” to show the time remaining before expiration.
- Parameters:
usecDuration – The timer expiration duration in microseconds.
- Returns:
Returns common entity return values
- aErr setExpiration(const uint32_t usecDuration)¶
Set the expiration time for the timer entity. When the timer expires, it will fire the associated timer[index]() reflex.
- Parameters:
usecDuration – The duration before timer expiration in microseconds.
- Returns:
Returns common entity return values
- aErr getMode(uint8_t *mode)¶
Get the mode of the timer which is either single or repeat mode.
- Parameters:
mode – The mode of the time. aTIMER_MODE_REPEAT or aTIMER_MODE_SINGLE.
- Returns:
Returns common entity return values
- aErr setMode(const uint8_t mode)¶
Set the mode of the timer which is either single or repeat mode.
- Parameters:
mode – The mode of the timer. aTIMER_MODE_REPEAT or aTIMER_MODE_SINGLE.
- Return values:
aErrNone – Action completed successfully.
- Returns:
Returns common entity return values
