#188629 - The timer simply increments
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Sorry for any confusion

The timer ISR is


void ONE_KHZ_ISR (void) interrupt 5 {
    TF2 = 0;                            // Reset Interrupt

   WDTCN = 0xA5;
   gui_mSecCount++;   
   gb_mSecTick = TRUE;
   timer_count++;						//this is count for our sort out timers tick
										//we use this to make sure we don't miss a timer event 
										//if we take too long processing something, this will always fire.



}




 



I would have thought that is pretty short.....

Then at some non critical non ISR point in my code I call.

TIMERS_sort_out_timers();






//call this on a 1mSec or more tick that is not on an interrupt.
void TIMERS_sort_out_timers(void){
	unsigned char i;
	unsigned int elapsed_msecs;

	elapsed_msecs = timer_count;
	timer_count = 0;


	for (i = 0; i < NUMBER_OF_TIMERS; i++){				//step through each of our timers
		if (timer_array[i].current_value != 0){			//see if we have already expired.
//			timer_array[i].current_value --;			//if not then decrement the timer toward 0 
			timer_array[i].current_value -= elapsed_msecs;			//if not then decrement the timer toward 0 or past 0 
			if (timer_array[i].current_value <= 0){		//now see if we have timed out
				if (timer_array[i].timer_type == timer_periodic){	//if we run on a periodic timer 
					timer_array[i].current_value = timer_array[i].reset_value;	//reload the timer 
				}
				timer_array[i].timeout_func(timer_array[i].func_args);			//if we have timed out then perform the function in our callback.
			}
		}
	}
}







 



In this manner I am not hanging around in an interrupt.

And I'm not processing an expired timer in the ISR?
