Using a DispatchedTimer To Call An Event Reguarly

Note: A 45mS tick seems to be about the fastest this can be used for in our tests on a RPi 3, lower values don’t make it any faster

	private Windows.UI.Xaml.DispatcherTimer Timer1;

	//----- SETUP TIMER1 -----
	Timer1 = new Windows.UI.Xaml.DispatcherTimer();
	Timer1.Interval = TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(500);
	Timer1.Tick += Timer1_Tick;
	Timer1.Start();

	//**********************************
	//**********************************
	//********** TIMER 1 TICK **********
	//**********************************
	//**********************************
	private void Timer1_Tick(object sender, object e)
	{
		//Here every 500mS
	}

	private void Page_Unloaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
	{
		Timer1.Stop();

Using a DispatchedTimer to call async methods

private Windows.UI.Xaml.DispatcherTimer BackgroundAsyncTasksTimer;

	//----- SETUP OUR BACKGROUND ASYNC TASKS TIMER -----
	BackgroundAsyncTasksTimer = new Windows.UI.Xaml.DispatcherTimer();
	BackgroundAsyncTasksTimer.Interval = TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(100);
	BackgroundAsyncTasksTimer.Tick += BackgroundAsyncTasksTimer_Tick;
	BackgroundAsyncTasksTimer.Start();


	//************************************************************
	//************************************************************
	//********** BACKGROUND ASYNC TASKS LOOPING THREAD ***********
	//************************************************************
	//************************************************************
	private async void BackgroundAsyncTasksTimer_Tick(object sender, object e)
	{
		//Here every 100mS

		await MyFunctionName();
	}
