Enhancement proposal

[EdClaus]

Hi,
I'm using your great timer to run a steppermotor (non-blocking) with the esp8266 like:
if (motorTimer.repeat (steps, speed)) {
stepMotorCW();
}
I need however to know whether the repeat is still running and I need to be able to stop the repeat when a limitswitch is reached. I therefor propose 2 more methods to add. You'll find them below.

Kind regards, Ed

boolean repeatRunning();
void repeatStop();

/*

• Checks whether the repeat timer is still running
• Useful to do something during or not during the total repeat period
• Usage:
• if(!timer.repeatRunning()){
• stop blinking that LED or running that motor
• }
  */
  boolean Neotimer::repeatRunning(){
  if(this->_times > 0){
  return true;
  }
  return false;
  }

/*

• Stops a running repeat timer
• Useful to act on a limitswitch or reached condition
• Usage:
• timer.repeatStop()){
  */
  void Neotimer::repeatStop(){
  this->_times = 0;
  }

good library, could insert an option to use different drive intervals in the example repeat; 2000 LED ON, 4000 LED OFF

yeah, i hope too Jrullan

Hi Bro!
i have found new Logical code for start blinking and stop blinking whitin neotimer...
this is my logical sketch code:

#include <neotimer.h>

Neotimer WAOW = Neotimer(1000) ;
const int p = A0;
const int led = 13;

bool p1 = false;
bool p2 = false;
bool p3 = false;

int btn;

void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
pinMode(led, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
btn = digitalRead(p);
if ((btn == 0) && (p1 == false)) {
p1 = true;
p2 =! p2;
p3 = true;
digitalWrite(led, 1);
}else if (btn == 1){
p1 = false;
}

if (p2 == true){
RUN();
} else {
p3 = false;
digitalWrite(led, 0);
WAOW.stop();
}
Serial.print(p1);
Serial.print("\t");
Serial.print(p2);
Serial.print("\t");
Serial.print(p3);
Serial.print("\t");
Serial.println(digitalRead(led));
}

void RUN(){
if (p3 == true){
WAOW.start();
p3 = false;
}
if(WAOW.done()){
digitalWrite(led, !digitalRead(led));
p3 = true;
}
}

if you want, i can help you for diffrent intervals repeat..
i have found that logic too, within neotimer
