Example Harmony Projects for the Timer Peripheral

Each of the following links contain a downloadable, fully functional example project. Detailed instructions on how the project was created are also provided.

Timer Driver Example (Static) Using chipKIT WF32 >

Configures Timer1 with a Static Driver to generate an interrupt at 500 ms. Implements the ISR for the timer to blink an LED attached to an I/O pin.

Timer Driver Example (Dynamic) Using chipKIT WF32 >

This example project uses the Timer Driver Library (Dynamic Implementation) to execute timer interrupts. The period of these interrupts, and the number of interrupts to count for a given alarm period, are calculated for you. Every 500 ms, a callback function will be executed to toggle LED 3.

Timer System Service Example Using chipKIT WF32 >

This example project uses the Timer System Service Library to execute functions after a specified period of time. The MPLAB Harmony Configurator (MHC) is used to configure the Timer System Service. Two different clients of the Timer System Service are then created:

  • One client executes a callback function to toggle LED3 every 500 ms.
  • The other client executes a callback function to toggle LED4 every 1000 ms.

Another example of running a function after a specified time period, by reading the Timer System Service values directly, is also provided.

Timer System Service Example Using chipKIT Wi-FIRE >

This example project uses the Timer System Service Library to execute functions after a specified period of time. The MPLAB Harmony Configurator (MHC) is used to configure the Timer System Service. Two different clients of the Timer System Service are then created:

  • One client executes a callback function to toggle LED3 every 500 ms.
  • The other client executes a callback function to toggle LED4 every 1000 ms.

Another example of running a function after a specified time period, by reading the Timer System Service values directly, is also provided.

Timer System Service Example Using PIC32MZ EF Starter Kit >

This example project uses the Timer System Service Library to execute functions after a specified period of time. The MPLAB Harmony Configurator (MHC) is used to configure the Timer System Service. Two different clients of the Timer System Service are then created:

  • One client executes a callback function to toggle LED1 every 500 ms.
  • The other client executes a callback function to toggle LED2 every 100 0ms.

Another example of running a function after a specified time period, by reading the Timer System Service values directly, is also provided.
