RCTime question

Capt. Quirk

Rctime returns·an 8 bit value·and uses multipliers expand it's capabilities (I think) , But when my servo control program went to "zero" (bad code). RCTime would quickly return a value of 65,000 + as if was really a 16 bit variable?

Why does it do that?.

RCTIME can return a word; the multiplier parameter affects the units of [noparse][[/noparse]internal] timing. By default, it's 2 microseconds (like the BS2), but you may want a longer timer if you're using a big RC circuit (e.g., photcell that has huge off resistance).
