Cannot set milisecond timer?

[Arturo Lopez Perez]

Hi Everyone!

I hope you are fine. I have a problem -just sometimes-. I am creating a timer handler like this...

EventSetMillisecondTimer(50);

And works fine. But some users experience this error: Cannot set milisecond timer(50) and the program fails.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance

Is there a minimum time allowed?  I remember reading somewhere about a minimum of 100...it may be for the sleep function, can't remember off hand.

void OnTick(){
//code executes here when there is a tick

void OnTimer(){
//code here executes every 100ms or as available.

No, you can use EventSetMillisecondTimer(1) if you so wish.

Which builds is this happening with?
