Is it necessary to use app timer library in current time service client example?

Hi,

In ble_app_cts_c example(SDK 16), is it necessary to perform app_timer_init()? Because I could see that, no timers are being setup in the function timers_init().

If I can skip that, then I can use RTC1 for SAADC sampling. As RTC0 is already occupied by BLE SD and I use RTC2 for calendar functionality.

Or if there is an option to use app timer library to perform sampling every 40ms, kindly let me know.

Regards,

Dino

If you do not use the app_timer for anything then don't initialize it.

Hi,

I doubted if app_timer was internally used for activities like handling advertising interval.

So, as per your answer, it is not internally used right?

Exactly, the application timer is only used by the application, not the SoftDevice.
