Kevin:

An idea...

A quick and dirty utilizations counter...

Add a global long integer to you project called "cycle". At the end of the while(TRUE) in main.c, do a cycle++ to build a loop counter, this will tell you how many time you have been in the while(TRUE) loop.

In the 26.4ms loop, read the cycle counter, clear it and divide by (264k clock cycles, the number of clock cycles in 26.4ms - the number of cycles used in the while(TRUE) ) This will give you a crude % utilization of the CPU that the teams can use to check on there code efficiency...


also, the counter could be scaled so that one could use an unsigned int
