      Hi
      Need some help on using the timer class on my lopy4.

      Using the following code from the Pycom documentation:

      from machine import Timer
      
      class Clock:
      
          def __init__(self):
              self.seconds = 0
              self.__alarm = Timer.Alarm(self._seconds_handler, 1, periodic=True)
      
          def _seconds_handler(self, alarm):
              self.seconds += 1
              print("%02d seconds have passed" % self.seconds)
              if self.seconds == 10:
                  alarm.cancel() # stop counting after 10 seconds
      
      clock = Clock()
      

      I want to change the alarm period during runtime. i.e. send the device a new period variable to use. I'm a bit of a novice with OO programming and can't get any attempts i've made to work.

      How would you go about this?

      Thanks for any advice.

      regards
