Timer unable to start multiple instances of app timer

[Rommel]

Hi , 

I have been working on an example code in SDK : nRF5_SDK_17.0.2_d674dde\examples\ble_central_and_peripheral\experimental\ble_app_multirole_lesc\pca10040\s132\ses\

, So I wanted to create a repeated timeout based event to be  executed. So I created a the timer instance and started  the timer; however, the timeout even is not happening could you help me. 

I have provided the section fo the code where I have created the timer inside the main function. 

#define timer_ticks APP_TIMER_TICKS(3000)

APP_TIMER_DEF(mytimer_id);

////app_timer_id_t mytimer_id;
error_code = app_timer_create(&mytimer_id, APP_TIMER_MODE_REPEATED, timer_event_handler);
APP_ERROR_CHECK(error_code);
error_code = app_timer_start(&mytimer_id,timer_ticks,NULL);

The initilialization fo the timer is already done prior to this.

well, I have reverted back the interrupt priority level, I have declared the rest of the timer in the main as you said. I have gone through the example code you mentione. The example code doesnt deal with mulitple instance of the  timer being created. Also the  issue i face , remains the same.

Hi,

Rommel said:

The example code doesnt deal with mulitple instance of the  timer being created

 I disagree, the ble_app_hrs example use 4 instances of the app timer library. Why do you want to make multiple instances of the timer? 

Try comparing your code with that example.

Hi, 

I have tried the same, as per what is given in the code; however, the same doesnt work upon integration with ,ble_app_multirole_lesc.

Here is an example that shows how to setup two timers. LED2 and LED4 will blink on the DK:
