Some of this is like reading Greek… if only I could read Greek.

I am using a Nano with add-on board from Dr. Potatohead. I have control of NTSC… now I want to have my NTSC code running as one of two tasks.
?

Thanks,

I'd start with something like this

        org

        jmp     #ntsc_driver
        jmp     #main_code

schedule    long  %%1111_1110

ntsc_driver   settask    schedule

This splits the COG time as 12.5% for video and 87.5% for your main code.
Simply adjust the schedule balance to suit your application.

Thanks Brian,
Cheers!!!

I get an extra hour of sleep tonight… we are warping time in the U.S.
First thing in the morning.

The NTSC_fire demo is an example for NTSC with an additional task. The fire calculation is done in its own task.

Andy and Brian… I love the new Invaders and the fire demo… both work great. There are a couple of hooks in each that allow me to experiment with them, but the truth is that I don't understand the code the way I need to. I'm sure I could come up with a series of questions that would get me there, but I'm going to change directions and get some more cogs, so that I don't have to become one of the "best and brightest" just to get my silly little project up and running.

You guys are great. Thanks.

I sent an message to Ken… but he is obviously up to his eyebrows. Who do I talk to … to ask for an add-on board for the DE2 if there are any left?
