|
|
Get the amount of time counted by the timer in seconds.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The timer count begins from `0` when you program starts or is [reset](/reference/control/timer/reset). The number of seconds returned also includes milliseconds if there is a fractional part of a second too.

|
## Returns
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* a [number](/types/number) that is the amount of time elapsed, in seconds, since the timer was started or reset.

|
|
brick.buttonDown.onEvent(ButtonEvent.Pressed, function () {

||
|

brick.showValue("DownButtonTime", control.timer1.seconds(), 1)
|
||
|
