<div>So I assume you need a delay there, so what you can do
is use an interrupt in your delay. Then the delay is
managed between all other interrupts.</div>

<div>I found this simple example of using an interrupt as a
delay. It' uses an Arduino, but the concept may help.</div>

Right, makes sense, I really use delays sparingly and go
for millis() But this was a copy-paste task. and it was
only 25ms of delay, so I let it slide. And considering I
am probably only using like 10% of computing power I
thought I could let it slide. And I could have if it
wasn't for you meddling programmers. `,~) <br>
<br>
Normally I only use a short delay at the end of the loop
if the loop is moving to fast, or for comm purposes. so
definitely out of norm for me. I still like the original
work around though. I would use it again if in a pinch.<br>
<br>
Good discussion in any case and now I have a better grasp
on Ticker. <br>

<blockquote type="cite">Yeah, delays could mess with
interrupts even if they are not in the interrupt itself.
Actually what happens is the interrupt messes with the
delay. If the interrupt happens in the middle of the
delay the delay will be longer than what you set it at.<br>
Almost all processors will be running interrupts even if
you're not using any.<br>
There are other people in the group that have more
experience with this than I, so just my two cents.<br>
