I am messing with an application for a Garmin iQue 3600. It will simulate a 'Christma Tree' for starting a drag race. Since I want satellite data while the lights are staging, I was trying to use the EvtGetEvent(, timeout) to control light timing. It works fine on the simulator, but the device is flooded with nilEvents from who knows what, so the timeout is useless.
Do I have to manage my own system ticks, or is there some way to schedule timed events or at least determine the source of the nilEvents.
You can use nilEvents, but you need to check the system tick count when you get one to see if enough time has passed. The value given to EvtGetEvent is a maximum value of the time between events, not an exact time.
