Is there any problem to use APP_TIMER without APP_SCHEDULER

[Yadhu KP]

Hello

currently we are developing a hid bluetooth mouse using nrf52832 and SDK 15.3. We are using  app_scheduler to send movement data to the host pc, but when we enable app_timer to use scheduler(APP_TIMER_CONFIG_USE_SCHEDULER 1) , the mouse movement is jumping when any of the app_timer instance finishing it ticks. on short hand we are getting some unwanted behavior when we use APP_SCHEDULER for both app_timer and other functions. so as a solution we disabled(APP_TIMER_CONFIG_USE_SCHEDULER 0) app_timer operation using scheduler. is there any problem if we use app_timer without scheduler?.

Hi,

No you can freely use the app timer without scheduler. But you can try to use the new app timer library from SDK 16:

To replace app_timer v1 with app_timer v2 in your existing project, you must add files app_timer2.c and drv_rtc.c in place of the app_timer.c file. You must also add an APP_TIMER_V2 define to the project.
