Periodic_Task

[khozDonel]

Hi ,

I want to create a periodic task which has to run every 10 seconds, how can I create such a task?should I use threads for it? And which clock source does the task use to count 10 seconds?

Thank you for your help!

Please look at any one of the examples in the SDK, pretty much every single one of which uses app_timer one way or another. app_timer will do repeated tasks for you.

Why do you want to use TIMER1 for such a long delay? RTC (or app_timer which use RTC as the clock source) is accurate enough for such long delay, and will provide lower power consumption. It is possible to create multiple timers/delays using a single TIMER peripheral as well, but you will have to create some sort of software control if you do not clear the timer when it reaches the compare value. Please have a look at the timer peripheral example in the normal SDK for details on how to use the TIMER peripheral for single periodic timer. Which device and Mesh SDK version are you using?
