# Example: General Purpose Timer
|
|
|
|
This example uses the timer group driver to generate timer interrupts at two specified alarm intervals.
|
|
|
|
## How to Use Example
|
|
|
|
### Hardware Required
|
|
|
|
* A development board with ESP SoC (e.g., ESP32-DevKitC, ESP-WROVER-KIT, etc.)
|
|
* A USB cable for Power supply and programming
|
|
|
|
### Build and Flash
|
|
|
|
Run `idf.py -p PORT flash monitor` to build, flash and monitor the project.
|
|
|
|
(To exit the serial monitor, type ``Ctrl-]``.)
|
|
|
|
See the [Getting Started Guide](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/get-started/index.html) for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.

## Functionality Overview
|
|
|
|
* Two timers are configured
|
|
* Each timer is set with some sample alarm interval
|
|
* On reaching the interval value each timer will generate an alarm
|
|
* One of the timers is configured to automatically reload it's counter value on the alarm
|
|
* The other timer is configured to keep incrementing and is reloaded by the application each time the alarm happens
|
|
* Alarms trigger subsequent interrupts, that is tracked with messages printed on the terminal:
