Extending timer delay by using a counting variable

The timers of Thymio can count at maximum to about 65000 ms. It is possible to extend this limit by using in the event management code a variable that can be incremented each time the timer end its count.

var time = 0
timer.period[0]= 10000  # the timer counts 10 seconds

onevent timer0
    time++
    if time == 360 then # after 360 events, an hour is passed
        time = 0
        # insert here the code you want to be executed every hour
    end
