Get/Set_Timer()

[Thad]

I have noticed that the docs on the get/set_Timer() functions are not accurate or at least not complete. If I run this code:

repeat
sys_SetTimer(TIMER0,30000);

while(sys_GetTimer(TIMER0)>0)
wend
snd_Volume(10);
file_PlayWAV("207.wav");
while ( (n := snd_Playing()) )
wend
forever

I get a beep every 30 seconds.

If I run the following code:

sys_SetTimer(TIMER0,32768);

while(sys_GetTimer(TIMER0)>0)
wend
snd_Volume(10);
file_PlayWAV("207.wav");
while ( (n := snd_Playing()) )
wend

I get non-stop beeping.
The docs claim you can enter 65535 and expect a 65.535 second timeout period. This does not appear to be the case. Anything over 32767 in the set_Timer value causes the function to always return zero.
Anyone know if a fix is in the works?

Hello,

I have same bug.
Have you find a solution, without use a variable ?

Thanks.

The bug is in his code.. Since numbers are signed he should be saying

while(sys_GetTimer(TIMER0)!=0)

Thank you
effectively with the condition " != " the program works.
