Linker ErrorThis library enables you to use Interrupt from Hardware Timers on an STM32-based board, such as STM32F/L/H/G/WB/MP1.
As Hardware Timers are rare, and very precious assets of any board, this library now enables you to use up to 16 ISR-based Timers, while consuming only 1 Hardware Timer. Timers' interval is very long (ulong millisecs).
Now with these new 16 ISR-based timers, the maximum interval is practically unlimited (limited only by unsigned long milliseconds) while the accuracy is nearly perfect compared to software timers.
The most important feature is they're ISR-based timers. Therefore, their executions are not blocked by bad-behaving functions / tasks. This important feature is absolutely necessary for mission-critical tasks.
The ISR_Timer_Complex example will demonstrate the nearly perfect accuracy compared to software timers by printing the actual elapsed millisecs of each type of timers.
Being ISR-based timers, their executions are not blocked by bad-behaving functions / tasks, such as connecting to WiFi, Internet and Blynk services. You can also have many (up to 16)
timers to use.
This non-being-blocked important feature is absolutely necessary for mission-critical tasks.
You'll see blynkTimer Software is blocked while system is connecting to WiFi / Internet / Blynk, as well as by blocking task in loop(), using delay() function as an example. The elapsed time then is very unaccurate
Imagine you have a system with a mission-critical function, measuring water level and control the sump pump or doing something much more important. You normally use a software timer to poll, or even place the function in loop()
. But what if another function is blocking the loop()
or setup()
.
So your function might not be executed, and the result would be disastrous.
You'd prefer to have your function called, no matter what happening with other functions (busy loop, bug, etc.).
The correct choice is to use a Hardware Timer with Interrupt to call your function.
These hardware timers, using interrupt, still work even if other functions are blocking. Moreover, they are much more precise (certainly depending on clock frequency accuracy) than other software timers using millis()
or micros()
. That's necessary if you need to measure some data requiring better accuracy.
Functions using normal software timers, relying on loop()
and calling millis()
, won't work if the loop()
or setup()
is blocked by certain operation. For example, certain function is blocking while it's connecting to WiFi or some services.
The catch is your function is now part of an ISR (Interrupt Service Routine), and must be lean / mean, and follow certain rules. More to read on:
STM32 boards with built-in Ethernet LAN8742A such as :
STM32F/L/H/G/WB/MP1 boards (with 32+K Flash) running W5x00 or ENC28J60 shields)
Inside the attached function, delay() won’t work and the value returned by millis() will not increment. Serial data received while in the function may be lost. You should declare as volatile any variables that you modify within the attached function.
Typically global variables are used to pass data between an ISR and the main program. To make sure variables shared between an ISR and the main program are updated correctly, declare them as volatile.

The best and easiest way is to use Arduino Library Manager
. Search for STM32_TimerInterrupt, then select / install the latest version.
You can also use this link for more detailed instructions.
Another way to install is to:
STM32_TimerInterrupt-master.zip
.STM32_TimerInterrupt-master
directory STM32_TimerInterrupt-master
folder to Arduino libraries' directory such as ~/Arduino/libraries/
.If your application requires 2K+ HTML page, the current Ethernet library
must be modified if you are using W5200/W5500 Ethernet shields. W5100 is not supported for 2K+ buffer. If you use boards requiring different CS/SS pin for W5x00 Ethernet shield, for example ESP32, ESP8266, nRF52, etc., you also have to modify the following libraries to be able to specify the CS/SS pin correctly.

The Timers of STM32s are numerous, yet very sophisticated and powerful.
In general, across the STM32 microcontrollers families, the timer peripherals that have the same name also have the same features set, but there are a few exceptions.
For example, the TIM1 timer peripheral is shared across the STM32F1 Series, STM32F2 Series and STM32F4 Series, but for the specific case of STM32F30x microcontrollers family, the TIM1 timer peripheral features a bit richer features set than the TIM1 present in the other families.
The general purpose timers embedded by the STM32 microcontrollers share the same backbone structure; they differ only on the level of features embedded by a given timer peripheral.
The level of features integration for a given timer peripheral is decided based on the applications field that it targets.
The timer peripherals can be classified as: • Advanced-configuration timers like TIM1 and TIM8 among others. • General-purpose configuration timers like TIM2 and TIM3 among others • Lite-configuration timers like TIM9, TIM10, TIM12 and TIM16 among others • Basic-configuration timers like TIM6 and TIM7 among others.
For example, STM32F103C8T6 has one advance timer, while STM32F103VET6 has two advanced timers. Nucleo-144 STM32F767ZI boards have 14 Timers, TIM1-TIM14.
More information can be found at Embedded-Lab STM32 TIMERS
To be sure which Timer is available for the board you're using, check the Core Package's related files. For example, for Nucleo-144 STM32F767ZI, check these files:

The following is the sample terminal output when running new example ISR_16_Timers_Array_Complex on STM32H7 NUCLEO_H743ZI2 to demonstrate the accuracy of ISR Hardware Timer, especially when system is very busy or blocked. The 16 independent ISR timers are programmed to be activated repetitively after certain intervals, is activated exactly after that programmed interval !!!
While software timer, programmed for 2s, is activated after 10.000s in loop()!!!.
In this example, 16 independent ISR Timers are used, yet utilized just one Hardware Timer. The Timer Intervals and Function Pointers are stored in arrays to facilitate the code modification.

Debug is enabled by default on Serial.
You can also change the debugging level (_TIMERINTERRUPTLOGLEVEL) from 0 to 4
// These define's must be placed at the beginning before #include "STM32_TimerInterrupt.h"
// _TIMERINTERRUPT_LOGLEVEL_ from 0 to 4
// Don't define _TIMERINTERRUPT_LOGLEVEL_ > 0. Only for special ISR debugging only. Can hang the system.
#define TIMER_INTERRUPT_DEBUG 0
#define _TIMERINTERRUPT_LOGLEVEL_ 0
If you get compilation errors, more often than not, you may need to install a newer version of the core for Arduino boards.
Sometimes, the library will only work if you update the board core to the latest version because I am using newly added functions.
