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

Hi,

The unexpected delays are basically because of some ISR running in between, Is you delay function is just a loop based or interrupt based? I think it is not interrupt based. Just try disabling interrupts just before calling the delay function and enabling after the function call. If it works better then I suggest you to write a good interrupt based delay routine. Note that the interrupt I was talking about is timer interrupt raised by internal timer of AVR.

Hi
We tried to put delay in our program but it is not that reliable,
When we do
for(char i=0x00;i<100;i++)
delayms(100);

The output which we get is not 100*100ms but something unexpected. The variable i is not used anywhere else in program. Is it that the optimisation is causing problem, if yes please tell how to remive it.

Thanks
Sumeet
