    Default Hersin timeout

    Hi All

    Am using HERSIN with a timeout... My question is :-

    What is the longest timeout I can use.... As I want to use this to put the device to sleep if no input on RX pin after X mins.

    The manual only states milliseconds so 1000 = 1 second.

    Maybe just try it and see ?

    BR

    I believe the maximum variable size is 65535.

    1 second is a nice even value,
    Code:
     
    
    timeoutperiod var word
    
    ...
    
    HSERIN [Item... timeoutjump,1000] ; 1 second timeout
    resumeprogram:
    straight after the code that validates the actual input data
    Code:
    timeoutperiod = 0; // reset sleep timeout
    anywhere in your main loop
    Code:
    if timeoutperiod > 1199 then ; 20 mins with no valid input
    goto sleeproutine
    endif
    way at the end of your program...
    Code:
    timeoutjump:
    timeoutperiod = timeoutperiod + 1;
    goto resumeprogram
