Example Alarm fail

[irvinvp]

Hello,

I'am using 1.8.6 in Sipy and the example says:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 12, in _seconds_handler
AttributeError: 'Alarm' object has no attribute 'cancel'

What's the problem?

Example:

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()

The problem is "alarm.cancel()" is not functional, use "alarm.callback(None)"

@irvinvp Why, after 3 years has the documentation NEVER been fixed?

@VST-Admin The actual example in the in the examples section documentation mentions alarm.callback(None).
The recent firmware supports the cancel method.
So I recommend updating the firmware.
