 Limit of timers in RobotCHi guys, I'm currently using the timers that you can use in robotc time1[T1],time10[T2],etc.
My question here is what happens when the timer reaches it's limit?, I know the limit value that they can take (timer1,time10,,time100) is 32768, but do I need to reset the timer afterwards or can I leave the timer like that untill I need to reset it for another function that ocuppies the same timer, this meaning that the the limit is only of the especific array (time1,time10,time100) and not the timer itself. |

Re: Limit of timers in RobotC When it goes over 32768, it goes to -32768 and starts again. So as long as you don't read from it, you don't need to reset it. I don't think each array has a different timer; they all share one.

Re: Limit of timers in RobotC If you want additional timers, you may want to take a look at timer-test1.c and timer.h in the NXT sample programs directory.
It supports the following operations:
It's fairly easy to use and you can have as many as you like. Regards, Xander _________________ | Professional Conduit of Reasonableness | (Title bestowed upon on the 8th day of November, 2013) | My Blog: I'd Rather Be Building Robots | ROBOTC 3rd Party Driver Suite: [Project Page] |

Re: Limit of timers in RobotC Only on the VEX PIC is it a 16-bit number. On VEX Cortex it's a 32-bit number, so it goes MUCH higher until you need to reset.
For ROBOTC 4.0 we're actually depreciating the Time10 and Time100 commands. |
