#184837 - Never underestimate the value of state machines Responding to: ???'s previous message |
I guess he just feels he will lose control, when the transmit loop is hidden in a library function somewhere.
The biggest issue with using a library-hidden loop for transmission of strings is the memory requirements for very small microcontrollers. One advantage with having the user code own the send/receive loop is that send/receive can be implemented with state machines, where there isn't a need to store full messages in a buffer. The data can be generated - or processed - byte-by-byte as needed/available. |
