Equivalent of millis() in Atmel studio

Question

This code It works in atmel studio.But this millis function is starting to run 31-34 miliseconds behind of arduino millis fuction.Why?I am adding picture.

Answer 1

The millis() function is defined in the Arduino Core for AVR architecture, specifically the wiring.c file.

You can see that timer0 is setup with various parameters for prescaling and interrupt triggering and handling of timer0 overflow such that a variable called timer0_millis contains the number of milliseconds since the sketch started.

The millis() function basically returns that timer0_millis value.

If you wish to make use of the function in AVR Studio, then you would need to include the same kind of timer0 setup and interrupt/overflow handling that the Arduino core does.

• alex jla: I have found example code,but isn't same.Can you write equivalent of code in above?for being example and my learning.Of course,If is this possible?Thanks.
• jose can u c: I will not write it for you. It's already written in wiring.c
• alex jla: oh sorry,I hadn't seen wiring.c file.I have added to my project.But I am not using timer0_millis.Error: 'timer0_millis' undeclared (first use in this function). What can I add wiring.c to my project?
• jose can u c: You will need to read all of wiring.c, understand it, and then implement it in your own project. Arduino makes very simple the things which are complex on "pain" AVR programming. What is the reason you choose to use AVR Studio?
• alex jla: Because I am learning atmel studio.But now,I need to this function.No need to make it so difficult.Just,I want to counter like millis() which has forward direction.I need solution.
