Hey, if i have a for loop, and I need to put in a delay,
so like for(counter=0; counter < X ; counter ++){ do whatever}
why does the maximum value for X have to be 65535? And apart from changing the clock setup, so that each count was longer, is there a way past this?
thanks |

If you need a delay, why not using the CCS built-in delay_XX() functions? They are achieving exact delays, considering the clock settings.

It doesn't. The range depends on the variable type of counter and is different for unsigned/signed int8/int16/int32. |
