- Fri May 15, 2015 10:04 am #17480 That's good!
Maybe you figured this out, but my code was wrong, it should actually be

Code: Select alltmr.alarm(  0, 2000, 0, turnOffLed )


Third parameter is 0==once, 1==repeating

- Fri May 15, 2015 10:54 am #17487 Thanks for the heads up, I did not notice, as the LED was always otherwise off, so I did not notice it repeatedly turning it off. But I did correct my code thanks.

That leads me to ask, what is the 1st parameter of "0" do?

Thanks again

- Fri May 15, 2015 11:16 am #17489 Oh that is the timer number 0-6, you can decide which of these do what.

You do know about this reference page, right?

See Timer Module.
But generally avoid using tmr.delay !

Cheers,
John
