I'd like to use the Picaxe to periodically run certain tasks, while also doing other things in the background. With other processors, quite easy, just do the background tasks and occasionally check an elapsed timer to see if it's time to run the periodic tasks.
TIME is only good for full seconds-counting..... any ideas on how to check periodically to see if it's time to run the "500ms tasks" ?
Again, I don't want to 'wait' or 'pause' since there are low-priority things to also do, but be on-time for running the 500ms-tasks.
tnx,
