Arduino TMILLIS() similar function?

highlander — Sun, 04 Apr 2021 22:00:19 GMT

Hi.
Just wondering if there is a similar function to the TMILLIS() function or how to create one so I can do tasks on a millisecond basis timer. Even if its a 3.25ms counter it would work rather well.

Thanks

Hi,

Two things:

1) you have not mentioned MCU type

2) Such function is neither a part of the standard C language package nor assembler.

You can use ProcessorExpert (pat of the CodeWarrior) for such purpose which enables you to set the timer on the base of your requirements and use some implemented higher level functions.

Otherwise, you should know what is a timer, how it depends on bus clock, how to set it, whether and how to use interrupt functions from it, program backup millisecond timer routine or only flag ms has gone. This is, however, application problem.

Short example follows which presents period generator which generates 3 periods by 3 different peripherals inside the S12XEP100 device and toggles pins each time when period finishes.

Best regards, Ladislav

//******************************************************************************
// periodic interrupt generator 1 : uses MDDC - modulus down counter
// Modulus down counter counts once with given period.
// The periodic interrupt is started by function StartMDC
// The periodic interrupt can be stopped by function StopMDC
// The pin PB0 toggled within interrupt.
//-----------
// periodic interrupt generator 2 : uses a timer
// interval = TCx * dt = TCx * (prescaler/fbus)
// TCx = interval / (prescaller/fbus) = interval * fbus / prescaler
// When 50MHz BUSCLK is used then we are able to set by means of standard prescaller:
// dt = 1/50,000,000 * prescaller
// let select prescaller = 8 and required internval is 0.01s =>
// => TCx = 0.01*50,000,000/8 = 62500
// Channel 4 is used to catch period. The timer is disconnected from PT4 pin.
// The interrupt is launched periodically each 10ms.
// The periodic interrupt is started by function StartTIM
// The periodic interrupt can be stopped by function StopTIM
// The pin PB1 toggled within interrupt.
//-----------
// periodic interrupt generator 3: uses a PIT - periodic interrupt timer
// Periodic Interrupt Timer 0 is used to generate 10ms periodic interrupt.
// time-out period0 = (PITMTLD + 1) * (PITLD + 1) / fBUS = (199+1)* (2499+1) / 50,000,000 = 0.01s
// The periodic interrupt is started by function StartPIT0
// The periodic interrupt can be stopped by function StopPIT0
// The pin PB2 toggled within interrupt.
