cannot generate timer events at "minutes"

[allegfede]

Hi, i have to handle events that will occour in minutes (not milliseconds), but i noticed that using this code:

// in the global auto play_time_timer = timer_create_default();

// in the setup play_time_timer.in(play_time*1000, CT_win);

// in the loop play_time_timer.tick();

// and the called procedure bool CT_win(void *argument){ Serial.print("timer complete!"); return false; }

works only if play_time if less than 33 seconds (so global delay less than 33000 milliseconds).

I suppose have to deal with the INT limit, but how i can make a minute counting timer?

Make sure you're using the correct integer type for holding the values you expect to handle, and to qualify any constants with appropriate integer suffixes.

Use unsigned long for play_time and it should work. For more correctness, also qualify the 1000 constant with UL:

play_time_timer.in(play_time * 1000UL, CT_win);

thanks for the reply. I'll try asap.
