Hi Michael and Sofia,

Timer/Counter 1 is used by the RF230 radio. The radio code also uses a
compare register via the AlarmOne16C component. Most probably you are
trying to use a counter that is used by someone else. You should NEVER
use a counter directly, but use the HPL abstractions in
chips/atmega1281. Can you use Timer/Counter 4 or 5, that is unused for
sure. I am not even sure if the sensorboard pin is connected to
Timer1, maybe it is timer 3 on the IRIS, no?

Best,
Miklos
