Hi all, i am useing a buzzer, a LED and a seven segment togather in a program...
And i want them to work togather but they are not due to nested for loops...
How do i solve this problem???
Thanks
 

mohideen,
Sounds like you need to break down the program into tasks. One task to handle each of the items, buzzer, LED and seven seg.
Then make main a loop that will service the tasks. I make lots of assumptions, like you are using a timer and interrupts. The interrupts can set flags that the main loop is sensitive to. An interrupt handler can set the flags.

Hope that helps some

Another solution is to use a "Real Time Operating System".
The RTOS will handle the tasks simultaneously without any nested loops.

Hope this helps.
