If the main task (and it often is) is sending info the the Real World, data aquisition can wait until the data is delivered. > With ISR's the data transport will become a 'background task'. But yes, it would be nice. I have a complete protocol stack of master-multiple-slave comms in JAL, but it ain't serial. Receiving is interrupt-driven, sending is not. I can port it to V2 some day, but there is a 511-word bootloader too. If this gets any larger, it won't fit anymore :-( --- ir EE van Andel [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.fiwihex.nl Fiwihex B.V.
