Try this ->

Code: Select all#include <Ticker.h>
Ticker tickerSensorScan;
#define WAITTIME 300
boolean tickerFired;

void flagSensorScan( void ) {
  tickerFired = true;
}

void setup() {
  tickerSensorScan.attach( WAITTIME, flagSensorScan );
  tickerFired = true;
}

void loop() {
  if( tickerFired ) {
    tickerFired = false;
    doSomethingWithSensor();
  }
}


Tnx Mario, I have some trouble finding the ticker library, I can see it on Github, but not download... Can you help me there?

Appearently that is what I am experiencing...

Ticker library is included with release so it should just compile.
