John, So I assume you need a delay there, so what you can do is use an interrupt in your delay. Then the delay is managed between all other interrupts.
I found this simple example of using an interrupt as a delay. It' uses an Arduino, but the concept may help. https://thekurks.net/blog/2016/4/25/using-interrupts ~Carl On Tue, Jan 26, 2021 at 1:22 PM John Vaughters via TriEmbed < [email protected]> wrote: > Carl, > > Right, makes sense, I really use delays sparingly and go for millis() But > this was a copy-paste task. and it was only 25ms of delay, so I let it > slide.
