time stop at 15sec

[fofito13]

i use this script in arduino nano:
`#include<CountUpDownTimer.h>
CountUpDownTimer T(DOWN);

void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
//pinMode(6, INPUT_PULLUP);
pinMode(botonPin1, INPUT);
T.SetTimer(0,0,20);
T.StartTimer();
}

void loop()
{
T.Timer(); // run the timer

//Serial.println("run \r\n");
if (T.TimeHasChanged() ) // this prevents the time from being constantly shown.
{
Serial.print(T.ShowHours());
Serial.print(":");
Serial.print(T.ShowMinutes());
Serial.print(":");
Serial.println(T.ShowSeconds());
}

}`

at 15 seconds the counter stop.
please help me!!

The answer is among the other comments. It's a line of code you need to fix.

It works right!!
Thank you very much for the reply and the fabulous library

Hmmm... I've just the same problem. My timer stops at 15 seconds, no matter whether it is 2:15, 5:15 or 0:15. Moreover, if I set the timer to, say, 0:14, it doesn't even start to count down. I don't quite get though what the solution is... what other comment are you refering to?
Thanks in advance, Max

Here's my code, by the way:

#include "CountUpDownTimer.h"
#include "LiquidCrystal.h"

CountUpDownTimer T(DOWN);
LiquidCrystal lcd(12, 11, 5, 4, 3, 2);

void setup() {

lcd.begin(16, 2);
T.SetTimer(0, 2, 45);
T.StartTimer();

}

void loop() {

T.Timer();

lcd.setCursor(0, 0);
lcd.print(T.ShowSeconds());
lcd.setCursor(0, 1);
lcd.print(T.ShowMinutes());

}

Rather straightforward, I'd have thought... But probably I'm just too stupid :)

Am I blind? Which other comments? I only see five including the one I'm writing right now... sorry...

[AndrewMascolo]

Sorry about that. I found the issue and I will post the fix soon. The problem was a missing operator ( ! ) in the TimeCheck function. All you need to do is change _type to !_type. Save it and it should work.

Wow, thank you! It works. And, as fofito13 has already said, awesome library.

Thank you. I fixed the bug in the library and re-uploaded it

Hi
if TimeCheck() should return True if the time is equal to particular time
The code should be updated as follows:
if(_type)
return (Clock == TC);
else
return (Clock == TC );
}
I tested and It works good to me.
Thanks
Miro

[AndrewMascolo]

What happens if you are doing something (or decide to put in a delay) and go past the time you set for? Then == doesn't work.

shouldn't be the code like that
if(_type)
return (Clock == TC);
else

return (Clock == TC );
}
It works good to me.
Thanks

Hi
agree with you that for delays is == unusable. I need to check the time a lot of times, but when I used <= . It returns True on a first check and than keep the True, if I do next check I always receive 1. Maybe I just dont understand the timecheck function and I should use it different way. When I changed the logic to == it works as I need. I simplified the example how I use it - see below - in my script I dont use the exact time values in check function but variables,

Anyway I like your library, It makes my life easier. :) THANK YOU

if (T.TimeCheck(0, 0, 27)) {
turnLR = 1;
// Serial.println(T.TimeCheck(0, 0, 27));
}
else if (T.TimeCheck(0, 0, 20)) {
turnLR = 0;
// Serial.println("TimeCheck(0, 0, 20)");
}
else if (T.TimeCheck(0, 0, 15)) {
turnLR = 2;
// Serial.println("TimeCheck(0, 0, 15)");
}
else if (T.TimeCheck(0, 0, 5)) {
turnLR = 0;
// Serial.println("TimeCheck(0, 0, 5)");
}

[AndrewMascolo]

Do a print of TimeCheck at those times and see if you always see true.

I'm betting if you invert the logic i.e.
If( !T.TimeCheck(0,0,27))
If (!T.TimeCheck(0,0,20))
. . .

You should see the code working.

Or if you want you can create a new method for yourself and I will add it in later to the library.

I would call it "ExactTimeCheck(...)"

Thank you for your fast respons and your time. Currently working on some project and it is close to end. I like the ExactTimeCheck(...), but I will give it a time till I finished it, to be sure that the right way.
Thank you again.
