Using single shot timer to create repeated timers with changing intervals

[Sarah]

I would like to use the single shot timer and when the timeout handler is called, I would like to set up the same timer again with different interval this time. Do I have to use both of the app_timer_create and app_timer_start functions, or would just using app_timer_start suffice? (In other words, I'm not sure whether the timer needs to be recreated or not).

Thank you!

Well you could have just tried it out, or looked at the source code for app_timer.

Either way - if you had to re-create the timer every time you wanted to use it, then the timeout wouldn't be specified in the app_timer_start() routine, it would be in the app_timer_create() routine, because otherwise it wouldn't make sense.

Hence app_timer_start() can be called with different timeout values each invocation.

@sarah: Thanks for creating a question, RK's has answered it and yes you can start it again with different timeouts.
