maybe one of you first guys can help me with this.
there appear to be two choisea for vex libraries to link against. one is an alltimers library that does not use any of the hardware timers on the 18f8520, and the other is the standard library which as near as i can gather starts timer0 after the pwm generation on the motor ports is complete and runs for about 14 ms at the end of which the user controller starts listening to the master controller over the spi bus to get the next frame of data from the radio.
in truth, my version of the sequence of things is purely speculative, but the important bit is that there are three things going on and that timer0 is used to let me know that i can do time critical sorts of things without stepping on the toes of pwm generation and communications with the radio.
am i close? is there maybe any documentation you first guys have that would give me a clue as to ifi’s view of the universe? i got a prototype programmer last summer so i don’t have easyc and am not sure i’d want it anyway, but i do grow a tad weary of stumbling around in the dark.
thanks
