Any ideas what might be causing this and any workarounds?

Thanks

Are you trying to run Software Timers on a Core?
If so ou may want to look at this
https://build.particle.io/libs/freertos4core/0.2.0/tab/example/timers.ino

Thanks was just coming here to post I’ve installed that library and seems to compile OK now. Thanks

I too having the same problem. May I know from where you got the library file and how you installed.

5

What’s wrong with the link I posted?

6

I got it from the link ScruffR posted (but you need to find the source code and download, not the example)

7

The link I provided also features a GitHub link to the sources, but IIRC you just need to #include the library respective headers since the actual implementations are part of the Particle framework.

Thanks daneboomer and ScruffR for your reply. I went through it and I’ve included those header files and I got the result. Thanks guys for your kind help.
