Probably a bad way to implement a timer...

[altenbach · Accepted solution]

A simple flat polling code is probably all you need to go from state to state as needed. Don't over-complicate things.

(You could use an event structure with programmatic timeout, but it's more code. Not shown)

I am going to keep your code running all day as a reminder of how dumb I am... A continuous blow to the ego

Just slightly related, but if you deal with timing, you might find this approach interesting (note: the VIPM has an older version for some reason!):
