Responding to: ???'s previous message
I have the use of a sequential timer in a single function. this is not a "set and repeat" application this is a "wait and continue" application.

ie. initilising an LCD display using the tick counter methodology is very messy, as far as I can determine.

I have a series of tick count timers running in my application for recurring events, and waiting for short functions to complete.

however in my example above the function may take >60secs to complete, in its current form.

Obviously all the interrupts are still serviced, but it is still ugly.

Thanks and Regards
