Can't schedule more then aprox. 2min ahead with taskManager

Dan

Hello

I have the problem that

taskManager.scheduleOnce(10000, [] {startFilter();}); // schedule in 10sec works

and

taskManager.scheduleOnce(198000, [] {startFilter();}); // schedule in 3min18sec doesn't work, startFilter is executed immediately

The border is between 196607 millis (works) and 196608 millis (doesn't work).
what am I doing wrong here? I'm aware of TIME_SECONDS but I have to time fractions of seconds. Hope I have just some misconceptions.

nevermind, i programmed taskManager out of my little project. Have a nice day

Yes, there is a limit in millisecond based scheduling at that threshold. It’s not for everyone and solves mainly short term scheduling for TcMenu.

Thanks for trying it anyway.

Apologies for the delay by the way, there was a mis configuration in the forum and it was not sending me emails. I’ll get that fixed.

No worries Dave. I use the other stuff in IoAbstractionWire (23017 and switches) with great pleasure. Impressive work.

Something struck me.

I could make a 32 bit schedule info struct available as a compile option. For example setting something like TASKMGR_32BIT_SCHEDULE as a commented out define in taskManager.h. So a simple change to that file would modify your scheduling at the expense of slightly higher ram use. Albeit only about 20 or 30 bytes for most cases. This would allow more than a day of millisecond scheduling.

sounds promising, if it is not too much work, that would be useful.
