I have been trying to write a RTTY encoding program, but have
encountered problems using the timer.device. My problem is that when
reading the current time the shortest time "unit" is 1/50s (= 20 ms),
ie. if i read current time, then "wait", then read it again, the "wait
time" i get is allways a multipel of 20ms!.
I have tried using the timer as an "alarm clock" in the ms range, and
it works fine (ok, you sometimes get to sleep 1ms or two to long, but
never 20)
Is there anybody out there that knows if this is the way it is, or am
i doing something wrong?
If this does not work i have to use the CIA's to check the time.
