... it could be worse. Millenium Edition, for example... ;-) Now that would be bad! I wonder if Vista will go the way of Millenium Edition?!? That's a whole 'nother can of worms there :-) Jan Waclawek said:
I see no lack of electrical abilities so far. I would need to ask you to wire up a light bulb to see that... ;-) Believe it or not, I consider myself fairly versed in electronics having designed, installed, and programmed a number of PLC based control systems for industrial equipment but this embedded stuff is a completely different animal!

That sounds like the proper way of how things have to come to work. It would be suspicious if you would understand it all at once. Datasheets and manuals are often a tricky (and rather boring :-) ) reading. It's only after a long time when some of the weird formulations start to make sense. And, of course, there are errors there, too; although the "bible" is around for quite a long time and should be rather error-free by now. I think you are 100% on the money. It's an uphill battle all the way for me learning this without formal instruction and it's slowly sinking in. I find myself getting a better handle on some of the very basic concepts I had trouble with but have no trouble finding "new to me" basic concepts that are difficult. I'll get there one of these days I suppose.... Jan Waclawek said:
On the other hand, there is a scary thing seen on your picture, too - it's rather unusual and potentially dangerous to use the accumulator as a variable to pass between interrupts and "main"! Hmmm, I'll have to pick your brain on this at a later date if that would be okay with you. I will definitely post my PWM code for everyone to look at when I think I have it close. I accept criticism with open arms, as long as its constructive, as I think it's an important part of the learning process. If everyone was an expert, there would be no need for extremely helpful forums like this so thank you ALL for your time and patience!!! Take care, Brian |
