Clock

[timdadd]

Hi all,

Have modified the orbit demo to be a clock for those working with time as I couldn't see a code sample on the forum.

The key bit of code is here:
// calculate the new time, assume we get round in 32767 millisecs or 32.767 seconds!!!
n := ot; ot:=sys_Get(TIMER) & 0x7FFF;
if (n > ot) n := n - 32768;
millisecs := millisecs + ot - n;
// Have we got to a second?
while (millisecs > 999)
millisecs := millisecs - 1000;
if (!(seconds := (++seconds % 60)))
if (!(minutes := (++minutes % 60)))
(!(hours := (++hours % 12)))
endif
endif
wend

Cheers,
Tim

Can anyone tell me how to make a timer0 - timer7 work in seconds as described in the Internal 4DGL Functions. I need a timer that will go out to 300 seconds and the description in the guide says timers can be in milliseconds or seconds. So far, I haven't found how to make them is seconds.

Where did you see that in the manual?

All the timers work in milliseconds.

To get larger multiples simply have a secondary counter and restart the counter n times.

Eg for your 300 seconds, run a 30 second timer (30000ms) to 0 10 times.

[CDE]

Directly from 4D Labs manual pg 186. PICASO-GFX2 Internal 4DGL Functions.

Example : sys_SetTimer(Timer5, 3600) // Set Timer5 for 1 hour. I must be it reading wrong.

Although the Argument does say its in milliseconds.

Thanks, that was fixed back in 6.13 of the manual, released in June.

Sorry about the confusion

[CDE]

Can you help a little more and provide an example code of how you would make an RTC.

What would the line code look like to have a timer repeat 5 times.

sys_SetTimer(TIMER5,60000); // 1 Minute timer (Repeat 5 times)

Can you tell me if there is somewhere on your website where I can find newer or more in-depth explanations of the coding. I feel a little foolish having to expose my inexperience in the forum area if something exists where I can find answers to my "VISI For Dummies" questions.

I'm really struggling with strings.

Better yet, I'm trying to sequence a string or user image file once a second. If you can tell me where to see a similar example or how to code it would be very helpful.

[ESPsupport]

The app notes pages should help, there's one specifically about strings http://www.4dsystems.com.au/appnotes/

There's also heaps of samples that get installed with workshop, see files, samples, ....

If you have a favourite search tool (say grep) you can navigate to the desired start folder and serach for the use of a particular function from there.

Unfortunately the forum search isn't 'fantastic', but there's a lot of information to be found here, as well.

There's no reason to feel foolish, everyone's a beginner once.

Here's an example of a multiple timer.

I've used private variables to make it look neater, might be able to make it neater again with a bit of work

func timerlong()
var private count, interval, trigger ;
if (--count)
sys_SetTimer(TIMER0, interval) ;
else
trigger := 1 ; // show timer has expired, could call another function
endif
endfunc


func main()

sys_SetTimerEvent(TIMER0, timerlong);
print("Start..") ;
timerlong.trigger := 0 ;
timerlong.count := 5 ;
timerlong.interval := 1000 ;
sys_SetTimer(TIMER0, 1000) ; // start initial countdown
sys_SetTimer(TIMER1, 10000) ; // test for 'accuracy'

while(!timerlong.trigger) ;
print(sys_GetTimer(TIMER1)) ; // see how close to 5000 is is
print("..End") ;
repeat // maybe replace
forever // this as well

endfunc
