Changing RTC2 compare values on nRF24LE1 during runtime

EwanX

Hi,

i am working with nRF24LE1's as one master and many slaves. I also use the RTC2 functionality for the register retention mode.

As i read in the documentation the RTC2 counts from zero up to the specified compare value (RTC2CMP0:RTC2CMP1) and when using the compare mode 11 an interrupt is assigned and the counter is reseted.

Is the following be possible:

  1. Stop running RTC2
  2. Changing the compare value (increasing or decreasing)
  3. Starting the RTC2 again but with not reseting the current RTC2 counter (continuing)?

I does not find any infos about it in the documnetation.

Regards

    Hi Ewan,

    Unfortunately, it's not possible to pause or stop the RTC on the nRF24LE1. You can only disable the RTC but that will clear the timer val.

    A workaround is to capture the value of the timer right just before you stop it. And then you can do a calculation to adjust the next compare value when you start it again to compensate. And after the timer hit the compare for the first time, you can switch back to the original compare.

    This behaviour is exaclty what i wanted but have overlooked in the spec. :-(

    Thx for your help.
