Timer objects

Hi Chris,

How did you get on with your ultrasonic sensor? I'm just starting out.

Cheers,

Hi Chris,

The forum is a good place to do feature requests. We do post 'weekly updates' that show our short term plans. Actual issues can go to github.

The RTC was a bit hidden in the docs, but you can find it here.

I don't think the Timer class is supported by the Espressif IDF.... yet..

@Ralph Does RTC work on Lopy with latest firmware or not?

Example:

rtc = machine.RTC()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'RTC'

Thanks,..

Hi @microman7k,

We are still updating our documentation to reflect which features are already implemented and which aren't. Please check: https://docs.pycom.io/pycom_esp32/library/machine.html

There's no RTC there so that means that it's not implemented yet.

@MrPy thanks for asking. Im still waiting for the ticks_us() function. Currently the precison with ticks_ms() is not enough. I got it working, but only with rough accuracy.

Same situation as me then, I'm sure there is a hack to get it working but I might wait until the timer class is supported in the next f/w release.

@MrPy Jep, lets hope for the best :) btw, this: https://github.com/mithru/MicroPython-Examples/blob/master/08.Sensors/HC-SR04/ultrasonic.py is a pretty good starting point.

@cfaessler Timer support should be added soon... hopefully by next Friday as originally announced.

Which friday? Im still waiting for the ticks_us() function. Can everyone show a hack to get the hc-sr04 to get working?
