Configure ClockFxn to run certain number of times

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2650

Hello,

What is the best way to stop clock objects using Clock.h from running their clockFunctions after x amount of times? The first thing that comes to mind is setting a counter variable and checking it every single time the clockFunction runs with a certain period, issuing some kind of stop function when that count==0. Would there happen to be a better way to do so? I don't think I'm seeing an inherent count field in the clockParams.

I'm using a CC2650 on a custom PCB if that makes a difference.

Thanks,

Michael

    Hi Michael,

    The clock module can only be set as one-shot or repetive mode. Therefore, you would have to keep a count and stop it when you are done.

    Two ways of doing this:

    1. Using repetitive clock. Start your clock once and count every time you enter the clock callback function. Once you reach your count, use Clock_stop(...)
    2. Using one-shot clock. Start your clock every time you enter the clock callback function. Don't start it when you reach your desired count.

    Regards,

    Michel
