helloi am new to blynk and have not programmed in over 20 years
i would like to set up a light timer that will come on at the same time then shut off for a few hours then turn back on then off for the night adb i would like to be able to manuel turn the light on or off if needed just unsure where to start.
i am not asking for the program to be written for me just asking for help with getting started and what i should read throu
You can program for timed events, but also you can manually turn lights on and off with a Blynk widget at your convenience. Did you already build the circuits and connected it/them to your microcontroller? Which microcontroller are you using?
in the process of building it started with arduino mini was was think of switching to a NodeMCU LUA WiFi Internet ESP8266 still working on the code the basic code i have will turn them on and off at the times of day but id power goes out when it comes back on it like everything started all over again so have to work out if then else statements but i have never worked with blynk and when i have tried to nothing really happened with it so i just gave up LOL
is it possible to have multiple(10/20) timer in a state machine? Timer I meant as a stop watch, every stop watch will be set by queue with state machine and when the timer became 0 it will turn a Boolean on/off also, 20 timer will be on in same time and I have to check periodically all the timer with other command in state machine. Which is easy to use with a parallel while loop but I don't know if its possible to use 20 while loop in parallel in one vi. Is there any hardware timer can I use for this? probably will use cRIO for this.
Certainly multiple timers are possible. The biggest issue may be what happens if several timers become 0 at the same time. One way to approach this is to use multiple copies of the Express timer VI. Another way would be to have an array of Stop times. Periodically check the current time against the values in the array, setting a boolean for each one where the time has expired. If the timing is too fast for software, it could probably be run on an FPGA system.
The Elapsed Time Express VI does not wait until it has timed out. Each time it is called it returns immediately with a boolean indicating whether the time has elapsed along with a numeric indiating how much time has elapsed. It also has several reset options for starting it again.
The Multi Timer provides timekeepers with the ability to manage multiple time tracking objectives, in context with their AdvoLogix workflow. The multi timer can be deployed in a variety of ways within both the desktop and mobile user experiences.
Timers are considered a prelude to formally memorializing a time entry. The multi timer allows individual timekeepers to concurrently track multiple work processes. Each timer is persistently stored in the organization's cloud data and follows the user from location to location and device to device without losing time tracking continuity. For instance, a timer can be started at the office while working from a computer browser, the same user can then leave the office, open the Salesforce mobile app and continue to work with the timers without losing continuity.
The multi timer functionality is independent from the classic Sidebar Quick Timer and the Salesforce Mobile Application Timer. If your organization is using the classic user interface, we suggest using one or the other (sidebar or multi) but not both within the same user experience.
The multi timer has an API option to pragmatically create a new timer. This allows organizations and implementation teams to create adaptable timer experiences for unique use cases. The format for the API call is as follows:
If you want to use this shell function as a script, then just copy paste it into a new file with the #!/bin/sh shebang as line 1. And then at the end of the file call the function as timer "$@" to pass all the cmdline arguments into it.
MultiTimer is an app that lets me set, label, and run an unlimited number of timers simultaneously. Now I can set separate timers for each part of my meal all while managing the amount of time I spend on my dissertation. While these timers could lead to chaos, they also improve productivity and time management, even for those of us who never step foot in a kitchen. By consolidating all my timers in a single app, I can track what needs my attention and when.
While these timers let me dedicate a set amount of time to certain tasks, they also remind me to take breaks. After reading a journal article for 30 minutes, I will definitely need a few minutes to clear my head. So I set a countdown timer. Tapping the gear icon in the top-right corner of the app opens a new window where I can create, edit, and manage my timers:

I have about 40 user tasks in my process.
I want to set multiple (After 1, 5, 10 minutes) timer boundary event for every task. What is the best option to do that ? then create some message event (I want to send notifications).
What I need to achieve is for each WPF DocumentPanel to request an update from an external API at a defined interval between typically 100ms Min - anytime Max with the interval unique to each DocumentPanel. Eg DP1 could be 100ms, DP2 could be 20,000ms etc.
Accuracy - 1ms (cannot have interval below (Iv)ms under ANY circumstances, over is not as much concern but needs to be be within several ms) EDIT: 1ms is not strictly a requirement but average (Iv) must be maintained over a short timescale.
Generally in a case like this I would have a single timer which when then check for the elapsed time for each DocumentPanel. I'm guessing 100% accuracy is not critical, if they select 999ms then they won't notice if you main timer fires every 50ms so can only give them increments of 50ms. Windows does not give that sort of accuracy anyway, I learnt this when trying to trigger a flash once.
Single timer which ticks at a small interval (you're discretion, but would need to be lower than the lowest supported update interval), and then have each DocumentPanel subscribe to this timer's tick event.
If a System.Timers.Timer is used in a WPF application, it is worth noting that the System.Timers.Timer runs on a different thread then the user interface (UI) thread. In order to access objects on the user interface (UI) thread, it is necessary to post the operation onto the Dispatcher of the user interface (UI) thread using Invoke or BeginInvoke. Reasons for using a DispatcherTimer opposed to a System.Timers.Timer are that the DispatcherTimer runs on the same thread as the Dispatcher and a DispatcherPriority can be set on the DispatcherTimer.
I'm not hugely familiar with the using the StopWatch, but my opinion is (after reading -us/library/system.diagnostics.stopwatch.aspx) that using a single StopWatch isn't something that is particularly suited to this problem
I'm trying to get multiple timers with interrupts working on an STM32L462 using the provided HAL libraries in CubeIDE 1.14, but every time the chip comes out of reset, it crashes after starting the second timer. Here is the relevant code:
I can't this to work. Only when I disable the second interrupt or start the timer without interrupt will the chip start. I tried stepping through and it just gets stuck stepping indefinitely. This other topic seems to indicate it is possible, but I don't know how. Thinking about how the handler is set up, how could htim->Instance be two different values. That's impossible. So after more reading, I did try enabling 'Register Callbacks' configuration for timers, and then calling HAL_TIM_RegisterCallback before calling HAL_TIM_Base_Start_IT for each timer. It still didn't work, and stops when starting the second timer still. I don't understand what could be going on. Anyone ever get this setup? Thanks for any advice.
Yes, understood. That seems to contradict this statement though. So you should have no trouble with if/else or even a switch statement. Anyway, it still doesn't explain why it locks up as it doesn't even make it past the init phase before the main while loop. I don't know if there's some other setting needed I overlooked.
Yes, that was it. I misconfigured it for us instead of ms. Very cool. Seems that the stepping issue indicates an overloaded cpu. I'll have to remember that in further debugging. I thought it was an issue with the board layout to the programming header.
I did not realize there's quite a bit of overhead in the IRQ handler using the HAL library. Are there any good examples of using interrupts without the HAL overhead? I think interrupts should call directly to my own handler without all those callback type checks to keep interrupt processing very quick. Of course, I'd still want to use HAL for higher-level complex operations such as SDIO, SPI, etc. Thanks in advance.
This is exactly how it should be written. If UIE and UF, clear the flag and call the callback. That's it. There is some small overhead for getting the timer instance from htim, but that's the price you pay to make it more general. If you knew beforehand that UIE would be set, maybe you don't have to check for that, but HAL can't make that assumption.
Ya you're right, it's not a huge difference, but looking at HAL_TIM_IRQHandler there are an extra 5 unnecessary if statements before calling the update callback since I'm only using the update callback. Do you know of a simple way to override HAL_TIM_IRQHandler or even TIM1_UP_TIM16_IRQHandler so I could call my handler directly (without having to replace code every time I run CubeMX etc)? Looking to do this still within the HAL environment.
