How to use Real Time Counter

[john kotkin]

Hi,

I have a sensor which sends data in a not specific time and each time start to sending data sends more that 100 data in 5 seconds

My problem is i just want one data not more than 100 data

So I need a Real Time Counter which is start counting to 5 second after receiving first data and each time i receive new data if counter is running and is below 5 second that data will be ignored until counter reach 5 and turn off until another time

Do you have any idea how to do this?

I saw the RTC example but i didn't understand how to use it

Hi.

Instead of using the RTC directIy, you can take a look at the Application Timer instead. This library uses the RTC to count, but is much easier to understand.

The Template example project shows how to use the app_timer library. Look at the timers_init() for a starting point.
