Hi!

I made a simple module for measuring temperatures using Smarttemp devices 
(giving a PWM output) for the Foxboard. I had to make a module since I had to 
be able to switch interrupts off for the few milliseconds it takes to measure 
the PWM width. 

And it works like a charm! Until.... I insert a USB memory stick. If I do the 
measurements starts jumping up and down again, just as if I didn't turn the 
interrupts off. Can the USB somehow steal clock cycles from the processor even 
if the interrupts are switched off? And, if so, can I somehow stop this 
"stealing" for a few milliseconds?

Thankful for input and/or help...

Best regards, Jonas

heater system values in a very simple form. It also has a RSS feed on 
/panna.xml that I use on my mobile phone.

Fox fills with values over internet. The Fox is a really cool little board! =) )
