 		 #128066 - PC State Machines
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Massimo Battiston said:
I always use state machines in my firmware, but i know very little about PC programming so i didn't help my collegue about this point, and so i searched for help here.

If you can do it on an 8051, then doing it on a PC should be easy!
The problem is usually the other way around; ie, how to do things that were easy on a PC within the constraints of an 8051!

eg, a very common way (possibly even the "standard" way?) of doing state machines in 'C' is to use tables (ie, arrays) of function pointers; But function pointers are problematic for (most) 8051 'C' implementations...
