Title: doing things together in c/c++
Post by: jamort on July 12, 2009, 04:59:48 AM

this is something thats probably simple but i never learned how to doit if its even posible....
so say I wasnted to keep checking sensor inputs could I do them at the same time or would I have to do a loop and have it going that way...?

so you want to be able to set something up so it checks the sensor inputs every certain amount of time?
or do you want to know if you can read inputs simultaneously?

if its analogue, no. you have to read them one after the other unless the mcu has more than one processor...
im not sure of this but i can remember reading it somewhere on sor.

Yep, you can only read analog inputs one at a time... but they are read so fast you probably wont have any problems with it.
