ex_tick16.c

This example code shows how to use the 16 bit Tick functions.

#include "net\tick.h"

void main(void) {

    //The default tick period is 10ms
    TICK16 t16Bit = 0;      //Has 16 Bits, range of 0 - 65535 = 65535 x 10ms
                            // = 655 seconds = 10.9 minutes
    //Infinite loop
    while(1)

        //Use 16 bit tick, execute every half a second
        //This method uses a 16 bit tick, which produces medium size code and
        //has a range of 0 - 655 seconds. It has a resolution of 10ms.
        if ( TickGetDiff16bit(t16Bit) >= ((TICK16)(TICKS_PER_SECOND/2)) )
        {
            t16Bit = TickGet16bit();

            //Add uses code here. This code is executed every half a second
            ...        
        }
    }
}
