I don't have that much experience with ScriptComunicator or QT
I noticed that the "ScriptTimer" accuracy varies a lot.
When the timer is set to 100ms the timer will fire 10ms to late.
It also varies by +- 5 ~ 20 ms.
The QTtimer class has a function called "timerType"
Is it possible to add that function to ScriptComunicator?
In "scriptTimer.h" there is a list of Q_invocable`s
In there, add the function "setTimerType"
It is something like that but I'm not skilled enough to do so.
Kind regards.

Hi,
I uploaded (File/Test) a prerelease that contains the new timer function setTimerType(String type). Possible values for type are:
- PreciseTimer (Precise timers try to keep millisecond accuracy)
- CoarseTimer (Coarse timers try to keep accuracy within 5% of the desired interval
- VeryCoarseTimer (Very coarse timers only keep full second accuracy)
But I don't think that this will help. A few years ago I wrote a device simulator with ScriptCommunicator. There I had the same effect (on Windows) that you described. I tried several thinks but nothing worked. Then I executed it on a Linux PC and the timing was perfect.
Maybe you should execute your script on a Linux PC too.
