Enabling Timers on RM46

Timers are just like tasks in FreeRTOS.  Do you have FreeRTOS set up so the OS has a clock tick? Do you have tasks that run?

If you do, you should just need to call _enable_interrupt_(); and start your scheduler to run your tasks. Create your timer and pass it the function you want it to call when it goes off.

static void initSampleDataTimer()
{
	sampleDataTimerHandle = xTimerCreate(sampleDataTimerName, sampleDataTimerPeriod, sampleDataTimerAutoReload, (void*) sampleDataTimerId, sampleDataTimer);
	configASSERT(sampleDataTimerHandle != NULL);

	xTimerStart(sampleDataTimerHandle, convertMsecsToTicks(20));
}


/*
*  PARAMETERS: xTimer - handle for the timer that called the function
*
*  DESCRIPTION: This kicks off sampling limit data.
*
*  RETURNS:		void
*
*/
static void sampleDataTimer(TimerHandle_t xTimer)
{

	if(xTimer == sampleDataTimerHandle)
	{
		//Do something
	}
}
