Good evening everyone,
I am creating an ESP8266 project that uses an LCD 1602 screen. The 1602 LCD is powered with 5 volts with external power where it is needed and I only control what needs to be controlled with the 3,3 V of the ESP8266 pins.
I am writting all this if it is related in any way with what is happening. When I start the project it downloads some data from a server and then executes a code in a timer1_Tick event. The timer is initialized with an interval of 1000 milliseconds. When all the data has been downloaded I set the timer1.Enabled = True and naturally I expect the code to execute every 1 sec (1000 ms). My ESP8266 does not share this wish with me and instead it does its own thing. In the beggining I though that the timer did not work but then I discovered (accidentally when switched to another window to send an e-mail and then returned to it) that it fires every 197120 almost milliseconds. Here is the interval calculated with the millis I log in every Tick.
Any ideas for this misbehavior?
