#181990 - the problem with cycle counting ... Responding to: ???'s previous message |
the problem with cycle counting (which can only be done in assembler) is that not only the thing you want to delay but EVERYTHING comes to a screeching halt.
main init main while (1) func1 func2 which contains a delay func3 that delay will stop func1 and func3 as well thus a delay should be timer based and used like this if !(delay done) return; Erik |
