# ESP Timer Example (High Resolution Timer)
(See the README.md file in the upper level 'examples' directory for more information about examples.)
(For general overview of examples and their usage, see the [README](../../README.md) file in the upper level `examples` directory.)
This example shows how to use the ESP Timer feature. For detailed information on the functions and procedures used in this example, see [ESP Timer API Reference](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/api-reference/system/esp_timer.html).

This example shows how to use the [ESP Timer](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/api-reference/system/esp_timer.html) feature to create timers and execute callback functions. On the linked page, you will find detailed information about the feature as well as the functions and procedures used in this example.
In addition, the [Sleep Modes](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/stable/api-reference/system/sleep_modes.html) feature is used to briefly enter light sleep. This demonstrates that timekeeping continues correctly after light sleep.
## Overview
The example starts by creating and starting a periodic and a one-shot timer. Their callback functions print the time elapsed since the example was booted. Then the `oneshot_timer_callback()` function redefines the period of the periodic timer and restarts it.
The ESP Timer facilitates creation and handling of timers that invoke callback functions (dispatch callbacks) on timeout. ESP Timer is mainly used to perform delayed or periodic actions, such as delayed device start/stop or periodic sampling of sensor data.
ESP Timer hides the complexity associated with managing multiple timers, dispatching callbacks, accounting for clock frequency changes (if dynamic frequency scaling is enabled), and maintaining correct time after light sleep.
After that, the chip enters light sleep for 0.5 seconds. Once the chip wakes up, the timers execute a couple of more callback functions, then the timers are stopped and deleted to free up memory.

The subsections below give only absolutely necessary information. For full steps to configure ESP-IDF and use it to build and run projects, see [ESP-IDF Getting Started](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/get-started/index.html#get-started).
### Required Hardware
### Hardware Required
* An Espressif development board based on a chip listed in supported targets
* A USB cable for power supply and serial communication
* Computer with ESP-IDF installed and configured
* An Espressif development board
* USB A/micro USB B cable for power supply and serial communication
* Computer running Windows, Linux, or macOS
### Set Chip Target
In your example project directory, [set the chip target](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/api-guides/tools/idf-py.html#select-the-target-chip-set-target):
First of all, your target must be supported by both:
- **By your ESP-IDF version**: For the full list of supported targets, run:
```
idf.py --list-targets
```
- **By this example**: For the full list of supported targets, refer to the supported targets table at the top of this README.
After you make sure that your target is supported, go to your example project directory and [set the chip target](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/api-guides/tools/idf-py.html#select-the-target-chip-set-target):
```
idf.py set-target <target>
```
For example, to set esp32 as the chip target, run

### Review Kconfig Options
### Configure the Project
This project has some Kconfig options set as default for this particular example in [sdkconfig.defaults](./sdkconfig.defaults). For more information about those and other Kconfig options, see [Project Configuration](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/api-reference/kconfig.html).
This example does not need configuration. The required Kconfig options differing from the ESP-IDF defaults are pre-set for this particular example in [sdkconfig.defaults](./sdkconfig.defaults).
To conveniently check or modify Kconfig options for this example, run:
For more information about those and other Kconfig options, see [Project Configuration](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/api-reference/kconfig.html#esp-timer-high-resolution-timer) > ESP Timer (High Resolution Timer).

### Build and Flash
Build the project, flash it to your development board, then run the monitor tool to view serial output:
Execute the following command to build the project, flash it to your development board, and run the monitor tool to view the serial output:
```
idf.py build flash monitor
```
If the above command fails, try specifying your board's serial port name explicitly:
This command can be reduced to `idf.py flash monitor`.
```
# Replace PORT with your board's serial port name
idf.py -p PORT build flash monitor
```
### Exit the Serial Monitor
If the above command fails, check the log on the serial monitor which usually provides information on the possible cause of the issue.
To exit the serial monitor, use `Ctrl` + `]`.

The subsections below walk you through the important parts of the application example.
### Creating Callback Functions
Timers are used to execute a callback function as a delayed action. So the callback functions `periodic_timer_callback()` and `oneshot_timer_callback()` are the most important parts of this application example. They are defined for the periodic and one-shot timers respectively.
### Setting Timer Configuration Parameters
The struct `esp_timer_create_args_t` is used to initialize a timer. Its parameters are described in *ESP Timer API Reference* > [esp_timer_create_args_t](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/api-reference/system/esp_timer.html#esp_timer_create_args_t).
The defined struct instance is then used in the function `esp_timer_create()`.
### Creating and Starting Timers
To run a timer, it needs to be created first using the function `esp_timer_create()` and then started using either `esp_timer_start_periodic()` or `esp_timer_start_once()` depending on the timer type.
Timers are used to execute a callback function as a delayed action. So the callback functions `periodic_timer_callback()` and `oneshot_timer_callback()` are crucial parts of this application example.
### Printing Timer Dumps
The function `esp_timer_dump()` is used to print the timer dumps which can be useful for debugging purposes. For details, see *ESP Timer API Reference* > [Debugging Timers](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/api-reference/system/esp_timer.html#debugging-timers).
To make the output of the dump function more detailed, this example's file `sdkconfig.defaults` has the option `CONFIG_ESP_TIMER_PROFILING` set (see [Review Kconfig Options](#review-kconfig-options)).

During light sleep, the CPU is not running, so callbacks cannot be dispatched. On wakeup, the system attempts to execute all unhandled callbacks if any, then ESP Timer resumes its normal operation.
### Stopping and Deleting Timers
Once the timers are not needed anymore, they are stopped and deleted to free up memory using `esp_timer_stop()` and `esp_timer_delete()`.
