This is my code which I have written as a library

#include "avr/interrupt.h"  
#include "Arduino.h"
#include "AllTimer.h"

AllTimer::AllTimer()
{}

void AllTimer::dofun(void)
{
     //TIFR1 |= _BV(OCF1A);

    TCCR1B = 0X00;
    //TIFR1 = 0X01;
    digitalWrite(13,!digitalRead(13));
    Serial.print("I printed");
    TCNT1 = 0X0000;
    TCCR1B |= (1<<CS12) && (1<<CS10);
    //sei();
}

 void AllTimer::setTimer(void)
 {
    TCNT1 = 0x0000;
    TCCR1A = 0x00;
    TCCR1B = 0x00;
    TCCR1B |= (1<<CS12) && (1<<CS10);
    TIMSK1 |= (1<<TOIE1);
    sei();
 }

ISR (TIMER1_OVF_vect)
{
     AllTimer::dofun();
}  

Code in Arduino IDE:

 #include <AllTimer.h>

 AllTimer mytimer;

 void setup()
 {
     pinMode(13,OUTPUT);
     Serial.begin(9600);
 }

 void loop()
 {  
     mytimer.setTimer();
    //delay(200);   
  }

But I am not getting anything on the serial monitor. What is the error I have made?

    Using Serial.print inside an ISR is asking for problems. Does the led blink? Also, there is no need to write TCCR1B and TCNT1 inside doFun.

The Arduino main() calls loop() continuously, in a tight loop. Thus your AllTimer::setTimer() is called continuously, and each time it resets the counter (TCNT1 = 0x0000;). Thus the counter can never overflow.

    So put mytimer.setTimer(); inside setup instead of loop.

  • also, in TCCR1B |= (1<<CS12) && (1<<CS10); shouldn't it be | instead of the logic &&?

  • @SimSon: Indeed! I hadn't spotted that. Good catch. Apr 7, 2019 at 9:02
