Hello,

I have connected a sharp IR sensor whith my UNO and I use the "analogic read" function to compute the distance. In the Aduino doc, it is said that analogic read takes about 100 micro secs.

In addition, I use wheel encoder based on interrupt using the fucntion attachInterrupt. At normal speed (180tr/min) the encoder shoul trigger an interrupr every 10 micro secs so the analogic read should be interrupted several times during the processing.

Do you know if analogic read manage properly this case ? Maybe it is better to forbid interrupt during analogic read ?

On a chipKIT board, analogRead probably takes more like 3-5 uSec to execute. There shouldn't be any problem that I can see with calling analogRead from inside of an ISR.

Hello,

In the PIC documentation "Section 17. 10-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)" of MICROCHIP, I see in "Example 17-1:Converting 1 Channel, Manual Sample Start, Manual Conversion Start Code" that they put a delay of 100 ms in order to get the data before the conversion

But in the analogic read lib in wiring_analoc.c, the delay is 2 ms only

Who is right, MICROCHIP doc or CHIPKIT lib ?
