#101158 - PWM spoiled by Rx
Responding to: ???'s previous message
So now you have a completely interrupt-less one-loop system, haven't you.

The problem with not absolutely clearly "drawn" features might be related to the fact, that you are spending some processing time in the receiving and decoding routines, making the PWM on/off ratio different for that cycle than in other cycles.

To check if this is the case you could try to display only a single spot, but keep transmitting the same X-Y pair - I'll bet you'll get a "shaking" point or something similar.

If this is the case, you could either change the PWM to timer-interrupt-based (which requires thorough understanding of the interrupts system which you have abandoned), or change to a derivative with PCA as has been suggested previously, or make a compensation, which would take the same time as the decoding, being called when the RI1 flag is not set at the end of the loop (beware this would reduce the "dynamic range" of the PWM quite remarkably).
