Best way to get millis() back
goran-mahovlic opened this issue · comments
Hi, thank you on such a great project!
I am trying to add eez-framework that is needed for eez LVGL GUI builder with flow support so we can also do active stuff from builder, and I got almost everything working but not sure what would be best way to get millis from your system. I am currently using CTimer::Get ()->GetTicks (); and I do see some activity - but I know this is no way to go...
Found something that works so I will close this issue
unsigned nStartTicks = CTimer::Get ()->GetClockTicks ();
return nStartTicks / 1000;
Yes, this is the way to provide millis(). Please note, that the returned value may wrap and start from 0 again. Thanks for appreciating Circle!
Thank you so much!
I see that LVGL is using the same so it may be good enough.
I am still not good at GUI builder but this is how this demo looks.
It is without any additional code - flow is doing all activity
I have also checked FULL HD and it is working great!
One more question can I remove cursor at the startup - or maybe have even faster start :)
Oooo I got it, it had blink led on startup, now it is crazy fast.
By the way it is already extremely fast I am just interested.
I could now try port my BB3 control sample that was running on ESP32

As I have notice that you already have TCP sample and MQTT sample that I could try next.
Looks great. Startup can be made even faster with these entries in the file config.txt on the SD card:
boot_delay=0
disable_splash=1
If you add the following line to your Config.mk file you can reduce it by another second on a Raspberry Pi 1:
DEFINE += -DNO_CALIBRATE_DELAY
There is also a WiFi sample in addon/wlan/sample/hello_wlan/, but unfortunately it does not work on the RPi 1, which has no WiFi.
