Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

HI

I want to to quickly poll 18 IR LEDs from one picomite, (via Darlington transistor arrays)

I have successfully tested a scratch piece of software that polls around the pins, and it runs no problem, with a 20 ms gap between each IR send command.

However, because the infrared commands take around 150 ms each to send, my concern is whether the firmware is smart enough to handle multiple channels of infrared sounds simultaneously, or whether the initiation of a new IR send command simply terminates any previous one.

Can anyone answer this question?

Thanks
Joe

The IR SEND command is blocking so only one can happen at a time
