- Mon Mar 07, 2016 10:52 am #42620 I'm trying to use the node.dsleep.

Code: Select allfunction startup()
    if abort == true then
        print('startup aborted')
        return
        end
    print('in startup')

    node.dsleep(60000)
    end

abort = false
tmr.alarm(0,5000,tmr.ALARM_SINGLE,startup)


Timer works as expected and waits 5second before startup.
But after starting it results in an unreadable error message and rebooting again and again.

I'm using the development firmware build by frightanic.com

Code: Select allprint ('WakeUp')
function startup()
   if abort == true then
      print('Sleep aborted')
      return
   end
    print('Go to sleep')
    node.dsleep(5000000)-- sleep 5s
end

abort = false

tmr.alarm(0,5000,tmr.ALARM_SINGLE,function() startup() end)


- Tue Mar 08, 2016 4:06 am #42671 Ah, now I see.
Its MICROseconds and not MILLIseconds.
This is really unexspected for me.
Mostly in other languages milliseconds is used.

Many thanks!
