Timer Alarm settings

[robotmad]

I don't understand the syntax for creating an alarm object: class Timer.Alarm(handler=None, s, *, ms, us, arg=None, periodic=False)

usage example is given as:
Timer.Alarm(self._seconds_handler, 1, periodic=True)

This example works but that only gives a single integer numeric parameter (which seems to achieve 1 second), please can we have an example of something else, say 150mS periodic alarm?

to set something as named parameter specify its name and value

ms=15

@abilio regarding the documentation for Alarm, is it supposed to be obvious to everyone what the "*" argument means? I had no clue, and had to search the forum and end up here before I realised how to set the time in milliseconds.

Thanks - so much clearer now.

@robotmad, sure, it would be:

Timer.Alarm(self._seconds_handler, ms=150, periodic=True)
