Re: timers in user_routines_fast

Stephan,

In user routines, you are counting loops timed by the master uP communicating with the OI. Each loop takes about 26 milliseconds so your counter should take about a half second to "trip".

In user routines fast, there is no such delay and the loop is timing as fast as it can, With a 40 MHz clock (and ignoring other code which you may have in the fast loop) your timer will "trip" in about 1 microsecond (maybe less).

Regards,

Mike
