Serial data transmission period

[sayzer]

I've used the second example with the case statement, and that appears to be working as expected

Can you comment the code so that I can understand why it works

Thanks

CASE 0,5 will work on minutes 0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 as the DIG 0 is always either 0 or 5.
CASE 1,6 will work on minutes 1,6,11,16,21,26,31,36,41,46,51,56 as the DIG 0 is always either 1 or 6. And this gives you "1 minute pass" after your HSEROUT condition is executed.


If you want to speed up the frequency of sending data, then change 0,5 to say 0,2,4,6,8 and 1,6 to 1,3,5,7,9. This way you can send data in every 2 minutes.
If you want to slow down the frequency change 0,5 to 0 only and 1,6 to 1 only. This way you can send data in every 10 minutes.


Hope this helps.

Thanks for the explanation. I've copied and pasted it as notes in the code for use in later projects
