timer

[WilliamJangren]

Hi.

Im trying to implement the timer example from the sdk15 in my own project but i get a error i dont understand. 

'NRFX_TIMER0_INST_IDX' undeclared here (not in a function) in nrfx_timer.h

Is there any better way to implement a timer? I want to blink with the leds like the timer example in the sdk between two advertise reports. So i want to blink the leds but scan for a new advertise reports at the same time. 

thanks!

Hi,

 

If you can, I'd recommend that you use the app_timer instead:

Over to your problem. I suspect that your timer instance is not enabled in your sdk_config.h:

#define NRFX_TIMER0_ENABLED 1

 

If you are using the Softdevice, it uses TIMER0, so you'll need to use another available timer instance.

 

Best regards,

Håkon

Thanks for answering! 

I still get the same error even though i tried to enable both TIMER0 and TIMER1. But if you think the tutorial is a beter way mabay i should go with that. The thing is that i have already tried to implement the tutorial to my example and i get an error that says that APP_TIMER_INIT() is missing.
