https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/58489/retriggerable-timerI&#39;m using the app_timer library to create one shot timer. I&#39;m calling the app_timer_start() to the same timer repeatedly in the gpiote handler. I had thought that this would restart the timer but it doesn&#39;t seem to work. The timer event fires N secondsen-USTelligent Community 13Fri, 28 Feb 2020 15:58:03 GMThttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/237206?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 28 Feb 2020 15:58:03 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:3c1ceb2b-e36e-4c4c-97f7-f37be1500dedJimK<p>In this case we will trigger a SW module from the timer.
