I guess you mean me Erik. Yes I do mean you Erik. My apologies for mis-spelling your name. Your example is similar to so many things I have done and NONE of them have been labelled "multi-tasking". Why not? There may be a single application but it can involve doing several things (tasks) at once. Of course, you can not regulate a speed (an Ian Task) without being told what the speed should be (an Ian Task).
So Ian see the world in small pieces, I see it as a whole, the TASK is to "control a motor" not "to read the required speed". That is not what I said. I described three distinct tasks, one of which was controlling motor speed, another was preparing print data, and the third was controling the print head pulse width. Do you disagree these are separate tasks? Ian |
