No time for flashPin() in v0.0.9

[KevWal]

Hi Roel

Just a thought, how about seperating out flashPin to FlashPinOn and flashPinOff and then call flashPin() here:

TBTracker-RX/radio.ino

Line 328 in 3eb512e

packetCounter++;

if (validPacket)
{
  flashPinOn()
  packetCounter++;   
  getMetafromRaw((char *) buf);
  parseRawData((char *) buf);
  flashPinOff()
}

I havent had the time to time that code, but if it really doesn't take long enough to see the flash, then you could of course just toggle the LED for each packet:

void flashPinToggle()
{
    digitalWrite(FLASH_PIN, !digitalRead(FLASH_PIN)); 
}

That code can be optimised massivley if needed, but at the cost of compatibility.

Just a thought :)

Cheers
Kev

Hi Kev,

That is such an excellent, out-of-the-box idea! Elegant, yet so simple. Thank you for that.
I will time the process and implement it as soon as I can. It will hopefully solve the flashpin problem.
