What "delay" is it ?

[Dan84]

Hi, i've started to play with timers and delays. In Di Jasio's PIC32 book i've found this code

void delay(uint32_t count)
{
    while(--count);
}

Who is count ? To whom it refers ?

SYSCLK ? PBCLK ? Something else ?

Hi @Dan84,

We do not have this text you are referring to.  This function looks to add a delay with count dictating how long. I believe this delay is based on whatever frequency your program is running at.

thank you,

After some test i think this counter is related directly to sysclk. I don't know if i must consider it useful in this form or if it is better work always with opentimer function.
