sorry, could not help that after the previous post being "Atomic" (never heard the expression before, if interested, the definition is at http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/A/at...ation.html ). I have always been aware of the issue, just never knew the word.
Ian, it is nice that there is a word for it, will use in future. And it is a surprisingly common problem that gets little mention. Just look at the software RTC code in the tutorials section and you will find an ISR that updates three variables that can be read by main code. Ian |
