tim = Timer(period=5000, mode=Timer.ONE_SHOT, callback=lambda t:print(1))

By default, timer callbacks run as soft IRQs so they can allocate but
139+
are prone to GC jitter and delays. Pass ``hard=True`` to the ``Timer()``
140+
constructor or ``init()`` method to run the callback in hard-IRQ context
141+
instead. This reduces delay and jitter, but see :ref:`isr_rules` for the
142+
restrictions that apply to hard-IRQ handlers.
