Javelin Stamp Timer Drift/Accuracy

chuckd

Does anybody here know the accuracy of the Timer object in the Javelin?· I'm using it in a Christmas light display module, and there will be multiple modules.· I'd like to download a 'program' of on/off sequences, and have them kick off and run through the sequence.

So at the end of a normal, 3 or 4 minute song, how well synchronized will each of the Javelin's be?· Each restart of the sequence will re-synch the chips, so it only has to be pretty close for about 4 minutes or so.

Thanks for any advice.

The Timer object is quite accurate.
The 32bit counter is updated in the background, so your mainlevel program
has no effect on the refresh rate. The counter increments every 8.68usec.
