After looking through the wpilibj api again, I found that there was counter.getPeriod(); Which would fix the whole problem most likely. If it does we won't need to use the interrupt.

Thanks Anyway

have you had any luck with the getPeriod method in the counter class? i've tried it but it doesn't seem to work. it starts out with a value of infinity and never changes when i run it....
