Re: [avr-gcc-list] (Newbie)2.Delay function not working as required

[Sumeet Pal Singh]

The delay function is the regular one from <avr/delay.h>
I havce not written the delay.

the thing is that 
delayma(100);
delayma(100);
//Write this 100 times
gives a delay of 100*100ms.

but

for(char i=0;i<100;i++)
delayma(100);

does not, that is where the problem is coming.
bbye
