Hello,
I'm working on project where I'm using 100us timer-interrupt for controlling AC motor. This application have 16x2 display and buttons for changing parameters of system. This is large project 10k+ lines of code so I write simple example to show my issue.
Please check it.
In this example I set 1us timer interrupt time because it is very simple and with 100us works fine. So, here is my issue: if I comment PORTD.F1=1; program works fine but when I uncomment this line of code program don't works at all-display freezes at beginning and don't show message "Simple test".
In my main project, situation is a little diferente. Program is working and display shows text, but timer interrupt time of 100us slow down application.
How to solve this kind of issue? I need to change state of PORTD in interrupt routine because I use phase angle control for controlling speed of AC motor.
