[Ovmsdev] Higher resolution events

[Mark Webb-Johnson]

You definitely don’t want to be spinning - that won’t give you any precision on the delay (other tasks may pre-empt), and is also wasteful.

How about a timer (xTimerCreate). Have it fire once every 50ms/100ms. You can xTimerStart start it, and stop when done.

One trick to use is that the freertos objects contain a void* user data you can use to point to ‘this’ (your C++ object).

Regards, Mark.

I wasn't able to find any delay functions in v3 so either I didn't look hard enough, nothing needs one, or busy-waiting isn't the right thing to do. Ticker10th isn't implemented. I could refactor the existing ticker task to fire 10 times a second instead of once per second, or I could register a new task for the climate control and cancel it after the the 25 repetitions. Or maybe something else altogether is appropriate?
