Even if you solve this problem today, you will have to re-solve it again and again over the life of the project. Better to re-code it in C. In the past one could get better performance with hand written assembly but today the uP chip has 100X more space than needed. In fact I, and I think most others have moved on to using small uP development boards rather then bare uP chips because the little boards come with USB programmers, chock crystals and everything you need and might cost something under $5. They are dramatically easier to use as most have a row of 0.1" headers so you can connect your custom electronics. This is not the way to go if you want to build 1,000 units but for a few tens of units it saves quite a to of work. Especially if a software update has to be done after shipping. The board's USB connection saves end users much hassle. -- Chris Albertson Redondo Beach, California _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
