Parameters:

• timeout (float) – The Timer will start after the specified amount of time.
• repeat (float) – The Timer will run again after the specified amount of time.

Start the Timer handle.

Callback signature: callback(timer_handle).

stop()

Stop the Timer handle.

again()

Stop the Timer, and if it is repeating restart it using the repeat value as the timeout.

repeat

Get/set the repeat value. Note that if the repeat value is set from a timer callback it does not immediately take effect. If the timer was non-repeating before, it will have been stopped. If it was repeating, then the old repeat value will have been used to schedule the next timeout.
