Re: float in interrupt function?

2005-04-09 by ed_hage

I don't want to define DC1 = 20 inside the IRQfunction. That works
already. I want to use the value of DC1 = 90 instead that is defined a
a global,

Already changed int to unsigned long because I also have defined some
other variables that way which I can manipulate with another
IRQfunction. But the results are the same.
