Timers?!

VEX V5 General Discussion Technical Discussion
#1

Two questions regarding timers:

  1. How do you stop a timer? Do you have to use cleartimer?
  2. Can you make a timer display its time if you don’t have an LCD output?

Thanks!!!

Yes, you can display times without an LCD, but outside of sending it to an attached computer, I’m not sure you’d want to. For instance, you could make spinning dials with motors moving them along to match the time. But attached to a computer, you can track global variables in RobotC (which I’m guessing you’re using), so you can just track a timer with a global variable and watch that global variable on the computer.
