Beaglebone Timers in Adafruit

Post by aliasgherman »

Hi Experts,

I am trying to create a PID loop to drive some motors and was using Adafruit for the initial coding. I am stuck on a point where I would like to use Timer Interrupts to execute certain functions at fixed intervals.

I am not sure but I could not find how to use Timers via Adafruit in python for beaglebone black. Any help in this regard will be appreciated. Thanks.

I don't think we have any Python code for the BBB's timers. That would be pretty platform-specific, and the point of the Python code is to get cross-platform support.

You'll probably need to check with the folks over in the BBB Forums for information about using the timers. http://beagleboard.org/Community/Forums

fyi - I posed this question to the BeagleBoard.org community on Google Plus. There are some comments that may be of interest, including from BeagleBone co-creator Jason Kridner:
