The timeSetEvent function starts a specified timer event.

it calls the specified callback function or sets or pulses the spe
cified event object.
uResolution:
Resolution of the timer event, in milliseconds.

TIME_ONESHOT Event occurs once, after uDelay milliseconds.
TIME_PERIODIC Event occurs every uDelay milliseconds.
