difference between many Tick25s to many wireless input?

oddson · 13 Mar 2010

I'd suspect it's not very different... there was a hint that for something like getting sample rate it's better to use the primitive wherever you need it than to beam it all over with a wireless.

But tickers are a bigger problem because they burn so much GUI CPU (which doesn't show on the meter).

It' best to use as few of them as possible... is this related to your 'isPressed' question?

Thanks for the input oddson.

ok after another check the problem was the mouse over,...man this is a real cpu hog feature.

is there a different in term of file-size/cpu/whatever else between:

- many individual modules of 'Tick25' to - many wireless inputs from one 'Tick25' with wireless output

?

thanks

My investigations showed no significant difference.

I use one global ticker module which sends wireless Tick100, Tick25 and Tick10. This way, when I want to change something or I just want to reduce the tick-rate to find out how the CPU-load changes, I can do this at one global place.

When i have a lot of redraws in my schematic i use this little ticker . i can easily switch it on or off with a key combo if i need the trigger for testing a gui element or whatever. when doing other things and i don´t need a permanent redraw i just switch it off again . i am sure it save´s a little cpu sometimes. before compiling i just replace the ticker with a standard tick25 when the project
