@ -4,29 +4,113 @@ The tmr module allows access to simple timers, the system counter and uptime.
It is aimed at setting up regularly occurring tasks, timing out operations, and provide low-resolution deltas.
What the tmr module is *not* however, is a time keeping module. While most timeouts are expressed in milliseconds or even microseconds, the accuracy is limited and compounding errors would lead to rather inaccurate time keeping. Consider using the `rtctime` module for "wall clock" time.
What the tmr module is *not* however, is a time keeping module. While most timeouts are expressed in milliseconds or even microseconds, the accuracy is limited and compounding errors would lead to rather inaccurate time keeping. Consider using the [rtctime](rtctime.md) module for "wall clock" time.
NodeMCU provides 7 timers, numbered 0-6. It is currently up to the user to keep track of which timers are used for what.
## tmr.alarm()
This is a convenience function combining [`tmr.register()`](#tmrregister) and [`tmr.start()`](#tmrstart) into a single call.
To free up the resources with this timer when done using it, call [`tmr.unregister()`](#tmrunregister) on it. For one-shot timers this is not necessary, unless they were stopped before they expired.
#### Parameters
- `id` timer id (0-6)
- `interval_ms` timer interval in milliseconds. Maximum value is 12884901. In SDKs <= 1.5.0 values >6871948 result in incorrect behaviour.
- `mode` timer mode:
- `tmr.ALARM_SINGLE` a one-shot alarm (and no need to call [`tmr.unregister()`](#tmrunregister))
- `tmr.ALARM_SEMI` manually repeating alarm (call [`tmr.start()`](#tmrstart) to restart)
- `tmr.ALARM_AUTO` automatically repeating alarm
#### Returns
`true` if the timer was started, `false` on error
#### Example
```lua
if not tmr.alarm(0, 5000, tmr.ALARM_SINGLE, function() print("hey there") end) then print("whoopsie") end
```

## tmr.delay()
Busyloops the processor for a specified number of microseconds.
This is in general a **bad** idea, because nothing else gets to run, and the networking stack (and other things) can fall over as a result. The only time `tmr.delay()` may be appropriate to use is if dealing with a peripheral device which needs a (very) brief delay between commands, or similar. *Use with caution!*
Also note that the actual amount of time delayed for may be noticeably greater, both as a result of timing inaccuracies as well as interrupts which may run during this time.
#### Syntax
`tmr.delay(us)`
#### Parameters
`us` microseconds to busyloop for
#### Returns
`nil`
#### Example
```lua
tmr.delay(100)
```
## tmr.interval()
Changes a registered timer's expiry interval.
#### Syntax
`tmr.interval(id, interval_ms)`
#### Parameters
- `id` timer id (0-6)
- `interval_ms` new timer interval in milliseconds. Maximum value is 12884901. In SDKs <= 1.5.0 values >6871948 result in incorrect behaviour.
#### Returns
`nil`
#### Example
```lua
tmr.register(0, 5000, tmr.ALARM_SINGLE, function() print("hey there") end)
tmr.interval(0, 3000) -- actually, 3 seconds is better!
```
## tmr.now()
Returns the system counter, which counts in microseconds. Limited to 31 bits, after that it wraps around back to zero. That is essential if you use this function to [debounce or throttle GPIO input](https://github.com/hackhitchin/esp8266-co-uk/issues/2).
#### Syntax
`tmr.now()`
#### Parameters
none
#### Returns
the current value of the system counter
#### Example
```lua
print(tmr.now())
print(tmr.now())
```
## tmr.register()
Configures a timer and registers the callback function to call on expiry.
To free up the resources with this timer when done using it, call `tmr.unregister()` on it. For one-shot timers this is not necessary, unless they were stopped before they expired.

The [UART](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_asynchronous_receiver/transmitter) (Universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter) module allows configuration of and communication over the UART serial port.
## uart.setup()
(Re-)configures the communication parameters of the UART.
####Syntax
`uart.setup(id, baud, databits, parity, stopbits, echo)`
####Parameters
- `id`: Always zero, only one uart supported.
- `baud`: One of 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 74880, 115200, 230400, 460800, 921600, 1843200, 2686400.
- `databits`: One of 5, 6, 7, 8.
- `parity`: uart.PARITY_NONE, uart.PARITY_ODD, or uart.PARITY_EVEN.
- `stopbits`: uart.STOPBITS_1, uart.STOPBITS_1_5, or uart.STOPBITS_2.
- `echo`: if zero, disable echo, otherwise enable echo.
####Returns
number:configured baud rate
####Example
```lua
-- configure for 9600, 8N1, with echo
uart.setup(0, 9600, 8, uart.PARITY_NONE, uart.STOPBITS_1, 1)
```

## uart.write()
Write string or byte to the uart.
####Syntax
uart.write(id, data1 [, data2, ...])
####Parameters
- `id`: Always zero, only one uart supported.
- `data1`...: String or byte to send via uart.
####Returns
`nil`
####Example
```lua
uart.write(0, "Hello, world\n")
```

## uart.on()
Sets the callback function to handle uart events.
Sets the callback function to handle UART events.
Currently only the "data" event is supported.

`uart.on(method, [number/end_char], [function], [run_input])`
#### Parameters
- `method`: "data", data has been received on the uart
- `number/end_char`:
- `method` "data", data has been received on the UART
- `number/end_char`
- if pass in a number n<255, the callback will called when n chars are received.
- if n=0, will receive every char in buffer.
- if pass in a one char string "c", the callback will called when "c" is encounterd, or max n=255 received.
- `function`: callback function, event "data" has a callback like this: function(data) end
- `run_input`: 0 or 1; If 0, input from uart will not go into Lua interpreter, can accept binary data. If 1, input from uart will go into Lua interpreter, and run.
- `function` callback function, event "data" has a callback like this: `function(data) end`
- `run_input` 0 or 1. If 0, input from UART will not go into Lua interpreter, can accept binary data. If 1, input from UART will go into Lua interpreter, and run.
To unregister the callback, provide only the "data" parameter.
