Unable to use embedded_time to implement `Monotonic` in 1.0

[ZoeyR]

Hi,

I can't seem to find a way to implement the Monotonic trait using embedded_time. The duration and instant types from embedded_time don't fulfill the strict requirements put in place in rtic 1.0. Consider the following implementation:

impl Monotonic for RtcClock {
    type Instant = embedded_time::Instant<Self>;

    type Duration = embedded_time::duration::Microseconds;
}

The following error will be produced.

error[E0271]: type mismatch resolving `<Instant<RtcClock<R, P>> as Sub>::Output == Microseconds`
   --> embedded-util/src/time.rs:131:5
    |
131 |     type Instant = embedded_time::Instant<Self>;
    |     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ expected struct `Microseconds`, found struct `embedded_time::duration::Generic`
    |
    = note: expected struct `Microseconds`
               found struct `embedded_time::duration::Generic<u64>`
note: required by a bound in `rtic_monotonic::Monotonic::Instant`
   --> /home/zoey/.cargo/registry/src/github.com-1ecc6299db9ec823/rtic-monotonic-1.0.0/src/lib.rs:39:30
    |
39  |         + Sub<Self::Instant, Output = Self::Duration>;
    |

However if you switch to using embedded_time::duration::Generic you get the following error:

error[E0277]: the trait bound `embedded_time::duration::Generic<u64>: FixedPoint` is not satisfied
   --> embedded-util/src/time.rs:131:5

    |

Are there any examples of using embedded_time in rtic 1.0? Or do we have to use fugit from now on?

You can use embedded_time, but you need to use the 0.13 release branch.
It implements the requirements we have, and we have tested implementing the Monotonic trait against this branch.

[ZoeyR]

ah, so its not released yet. Good to know.

[korken89]

Unfortunately not. Maybe worth poking and asking when the release will come.
