Alkex Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 Hallo,I would like to make a big MIOS CLOCK with DOUT driven large handmade seven segment LED displays, possibly even relay operated halogens...My question is, can I use the MIOS_DELAY routine to program a Clock?Not that I doubt one bit the reliability of mios, I just want to double check that my clock will not become "late" after a few days before I undertake this exciting but expensive project.Thanks in advance,Alkex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jidis Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 That does sound cool! I wished for that myself a while back, but I'm way way far from it in my assembler skills. I'll be running a MIDIMon for the MTC/Clock display most of the time and have wished I could switch it for use as a wall or desk clock too.- Good LuckGeorge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK. Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 Hi,MIOS_Delay stalls the whole main process, this means especially that no MIDI data can be received so long this delay function is running.The Timer() function is better for such tasks. It's clocked with an hardware timer, which delivers very adequate results (nanosecond accurate) - regardless which processes are running in backgroundBest Regards, Thorsten.
