Description
>Is it possible to have the same functionality with timerAttachInterrupt()? It doesn't seem as though there's an equivalent method for setting the callback arguments for that function. Also, could you please clarify the difference between the functions in esp-hal-timer.h [(here)](https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/blob/master/cores/esp32/esp32-hal-timer.h) and esp_timer.h [(here)](https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/blob/master/tools/sdk/esp32/include/esp_timer/include/esp_timer.h)? Why are there two different groups of functions to use the ESP32's hardware timers?
The esp32-hal-timer
layer has been refactored for the next Arduino Core 3.0.0 version.
It has some breaking changes that can be seen in the header file
We think that it makes the whole API simpler. Please let me know your opinion.
Anyway, I agree that we can add std::function
to it and make it closer to the GPIO Interrupt API for C++.
Regarding the difference of the 2 layers, the esp32-hal
layer is the interface from Arduino API to the IDF layer. By other hand the sdk esp32 files are just pure IDF header files, meaning that those are the IDF functions. esp32-hal
calls functions from the IDF sdk and exposes an API closer to Arduino, whenever possible.
Both layer are in C. Your project can use any of them, one or the other.
Mixing both may require reading the code and avoiding conflicts, therefore, maybe not so simple.
