| multitasking not possible with pic? |

Hello,
Done a lot off programming in Dynamic C for Zworld board's.
Using the Co_state feature you can blink a led, look for input , etc at the same time. Delayms instructions in a Costate will not effect other Co-state's
With PIC it seems not that easy. Due to delay_ms (200) instructions main is busy all the time. Interrupts seems to be the answer . Set a timer and wait for an timeroverflow in main. Or use a delay_ms(10) in for next loop .
Anyone a suggestion, 
Nick

I run a clock at 1mS and call each function once per mS. To time performance of functions, within the functions decrement counters in each function. When the counter gets to zero perform the function and reload the counter. I posted code that was the core for this a while back. This is quite effective and accurately timed as long as the functions do not take longer than 1mS to perform. When it takes longer than 1mS the processor is running at full capasity and will still keep reasonable timing.

Hello,
I wrote a small program with 3 tasks that are switched every 10ms. This can be changed to 1ms. But some things are missing like saving of registers or reentry of functions. I can post my code tomorrow if you are interrested. It is for a 18F452. |

nick,
it's *not* doing two things at the same time.
it's simply managing the avaliable time across multiple [functions | features | processes | LWPs | threads | whatever you want to call them]. you can implement this same type of management on a PIC, using your own state machine and timers, along with interrupts. examples are above and via the search button.
