Hi Everyone,

I have a problem with a timer that does not wake up, could you help me if it pleases.

Best Regards

le\_result\_t Motion::StartTimer()

static size\_t PeriodetosendP = 0;

```
puts(" ---[Motion] ***Start timer*** \n");

mutexPeriod.unlock();*/

What is the output when you run your program?  
I didn’t see anything wrong with how you set up your timer, other than it being quite verbose.
