timers in user_routines_fast

[stephenthe1]

hi, I'm trying to create a generic timer in user_routines_fast. I don't need any exact amount of time to be calculated, just about 2/3 of a second. the code I'm using basically acts like this:

static int counter = 0;

if (counter >= 20)
{
//now I'm at where I want to get after 20 program loops
counter = 0;
}
else
{
counter++;
}



but I'm not having any luck in the fast file. what am I doing wrong? I have no problems in user_routines, but in fast everything doesn't work timer-wise. any ideas or help? thanks.
