for going crazy I meant that the Timer<TMilli> MyTimer fires every few
milliseconds...
I bet you are right saying that the app_period is not reconverted to the right
byte order. it would explain why the timer fires in few millisec cos I usually
set the app_period between 1 and 30
btw, what's "reset(10)" ? is not a Timer command, isn't it?
cheers
