timer strange ? - trix - Nov-20-2023 hello, i,am busy to adjust the code from a libary (micropython-stepper 1.0.3), to do the things witch i want it to do (acc & decc). no i see that the configure the timer on a different way then what i learn. i learn something like: timer_0.init(mode=, period=, callback=)where you have by mode the options: periodic one_shot now i see in the libary that te used a timer configuration: timer.init(freq = self.steps_per_sec,callback = self._timer_callback)do someone now why the 2e way is also working ? tnx. RE: timer strange ? - buran - Nov-20-2023 where did you see the first one, which by the way is not valid python code? Have a look at machine.Timer.init() docs:https://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/library/machine.Timer.html#machine.Timer.init it takes only keyword arguments and has 4 (and their default values): mode=Timer.PERIODIC, freq=-1, period=-1, callback=None RE: timer strange ? - deanhystad - Nov-20-2023 From the micropython documentation https://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/library/machine.Timer.html Quote:classmachine.Timer mode is an optional argument. If you don't supply a mode argument the mode is Timer.PERIODIC. freq and period set how often the callback function is called. You can use either. If you provide both freq and period, freq is used and period is ignored. If you don't use freq or period the default freq is used (1000 Hz). So there is no reason to use mode=Timer.PERIODIC. Not using the mode argument achieves the same thing. And you are free to use either freq or period.

Someone who doesn't know Micropython, but knows Python very well, still understands the code. But if there are hidden default arguments, this information is hidden. RE: timer strange ? - trix - Nov-21-2023 thanks for the lessons the lesson of all this is that i still have a lot to learn ;) I'll read it again at home tonight. tnx again. |
