Hello Aamir,

I think that the software timers are the best solution to generate a delay. Which is the problem with the timers that doesn't serve your purpose?

The software timers needs a callback, this callback is called either periodically or once (depending on the configuration). This callback needs to be defined as listed below:

#include "TMR_Interface.h"
void GenericTimerCallback(tmrTimerID_t timerID);

It is mandatory to allocate the timer before use it:

tmrTimerID_t timerID = TMR_AllocateTimer();

There is a function to start the timer:

int miliseconds = 10000;
TMR_StartTimer(timerID, gTmrSingleShotTimer_c, TmrMilliseconds(miliseconds), GenericTimerCallback);

The parameter gTmrSingleShotTimer_c can be changed to be gTmrIntervalTimer_c (periodical).

Also, there are another function to stop it.

TMR_StopTimer(timerID);

I recommend you to take a look into the file PLM/Interface/TMR_Interface.h to obtain a better description of these functions and macros.

I hope this helps.

Best regards,

Earl.
