Quite a regular

Hi all,

I use timer device and it is correctly initialized. but I get a small 1/2sec freeze each 4 or 5 seconds.
I think it's the way I update the timer to get values.

Here is the function :
Quote:

void AmigaSYS_UpdateTimer( void ){
OldTimer = NewTimer;
ITimer->GetSysTime( MyTimeVal );
NewTimer = MyTimeVal->Microseconds;
}

Do I forgot something ?

Kindest Regards,
AmiDARK.

All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

Not too shy to talk

@freddix

Microseconds only contains the fractional part of the time. This means it could be used as a random number, bot not to measure intervals of multiple seconds.

You would need to use something like

NewTimer = (MyTimeVal->Seconds % 86400) * 1000000 + MyTimeVal->Microseconds;

to get the number of microseconds since midnight.
