Add timeUs32() end timeUs64()

[Martinix75]

Hi Jason I added two procedures (timeUs32() & 64) in the existing "time.nim" file creating a type structure: {.push Header: "Something1".} aaa bbb {.pop.}

{.push Header: "Something2".} ccc ddd {.pop.}

But aren't they sure it's the correct thing to do, or if it is better to create a new Nim file? P.S. He says we can increase version from 0.2.6 -> 0.2.7?

I do not know where those functions come from and no clue what they're for, have a link to them?

Hi good morning. The functions are in "src / rp2_common / hardware_timer / includes / hardware / timer.h" and are used to check how long the microntrolore is turned on (page 182 of the handle). I have already done and tested the wrapper, only that github doesn't like it (I think). I wrote the wrapper in "time.nim" and it works.

.... {.push header:"pico/time.h".} .....

proc cancel*(alarm: AlarmId): bool {.importC: "cancel_alarm".}

{.pop.} ----> Here github from a mistake!

{.push header: "hardware/timer.h".} proc timeUs32*(): uint32 {.importC: "time_us_32".} Return time from the start of the microcontroller to microseconds (32-bit)

proc timeUs64*(): uint64 {.importC: "time_us_64".} Return time from the start of the microcontroller to microseconds (64-bit) {.pop.}

complete file: time.nim.txt

I believe that because of the error Github has not acknowledged commit.

It seems fine to be placed in time.nim so I await the PR.

[Martinix75]

Check if it's okay! It should be all affixed now!

[Martinix75]

I postponed the file TIME.NIM and the example file, I hope (2 files) and should work well.

[Martinix75]

add only 1 commit (time. nim)

[Martinix75]

and 2 commit for helotimestart.nim (2 separate commit)

P.S. A simple generator of random numbrs written in NIM (and based on UTIME32 ()) is coming only a few tests are missing but seems to work well
