Struct nrf52840_hal::Timer

pub struct Timer<T>(_);

Interface to a TIMER instance

Right now, this is a very basic interface. The timer will always be hardcoded to a frequency of 1 MHz and 32 bits accuracy.

Methods

impl<T> Timer<T> where     T: TimerExt,

pub fn free(self) -> T

Return the raw interface to the underlying timer peripheral

pub fn start(&mut self, cycles: u32)

Start the timer

The timer will run for the given number of cycles, then it will stop and reset.

pub fn wait(&mut self) -> Result<(), Error<Void>>

Wait for the timer to stop

Will return Err(nb::Error::WouldBlock) while the timer is still running. Once the timer reached the number of cycles given in the start method, it will return Ok(()).

To block until the timer has stopped, use the block! macro from the nb crate. Please refer to the documentation of nb for other options.
