Re: Nesting Interrupts - is it possible?

what could your code be doing with an interrupt coming along that is SO imporant it cant wait a few microseconds for the current interrupt to finish?

in general its not a good idea, because it adds overhead to the tasks being performed, you have to save your context registers and then switch to the new interrupt, then switch back, then finish the one that was running

from a throughput perspective is best not to interrupt someone who just interrruped someone - your code will run like mud.
