Thanks to all those who replied. Sorry for the delay in replying, 
finally got back to working on this again.

Just a quick question, yes I am in User mode all the time which 
means doing a software interrupt to change mode to disable/enable 
interrupts. This is all a bit too slow.

We are not using an RTOS, so are there any drawbacks with staying in 
Supervisor mode as you suggest?

many thanks
Simon
