Re: in case of EMERGENCY, is a loop of NOPs an option?

hmm... as once said,
it's fun to solve hardware problems in programming,
I'm trying to precisely control a problematic motor, (taming the lion =] )
it has very little grip, and I'm afraid that by counting-the-cycles of a full autonomous loop,
I wouldn't be able to get it to the right position.

I was thinking about getting it to work, and by the next autonomous loop(s)
get it to stay in that position X operations (using NOPs).

now,
A. will that hurt the PWM operations? (but I guess not, as it supposed to be TIMER2(?) operated)

B. can it be bad in other ways?


Thanks,
Ran.
