Problems with repeating tasks

[iogeek]

In the example below, the timers do not repeat unless the default for add_task is changed to add_task(unsigned long start, unsigned long expires, handler_t h, T opaque, bool repeat = 1)

include

// create a timer that holds 16 tasks, with millisecond resolution, Timer<16, millis, const char *> t_timer1; Timer<16, millis, int> t_timer2;

bool print_message(const char *m) { Serial.print("print_message: "); Serial.println(m); return true; // repeat? true }

bool pmsg(int m) { Serial.print("pmsg: "); Serial.println(m); return true; // repeat? true }

void setup() { Serial.begin(9600);

t_timer1.in(3000, print_message, "3"); t_timer2.in(3000, pmsg, 3); t_timer2.in(1000, pmsg, 1); }

void loop() { t_timer1.tick(); t_timer2.tick(); //Serial.print("."); }

[contrem]

Use the every() function for repeating tasks:

void setup() {
    Serial.begin(9600);

    t_timer1.every(3000, print_message, "3");
    t_timer2.every(3000, pmsg, 3);
    t_timer2.every(1000, pmsg, 1);
}

in() and at() are for one time tasks.

thanks for the follow up. It is what i would expect but the seeing the sample return true when called via '.in' let me to asking the intent question
