This limits in particular the usage of xpcc::Timeout to approx. 65 seconds. I have a use case where I need bigger intervals.\r\n\r\nThe questions is now why 16bit was choosen in particular. As software timeouts and timers are not suitable for time critical applications anyway, I wonder if this could safely be increased to 32bit.\r\n\r\n\r\nFor the moment I can work around this, but having 32bit timestamps would be really nice."}}
