True, it may not be the most reliable thing in the world, but it is simple. Plus, if you do the polling from outside the 26.2ms part, you shouldn't have many problems. I went with polling after another kid on our controls team couldn't figure the interrupts out and we haven't had problems yet.

But, I agree with you. Use interrupts if you can.
