Optimizing the graphic library
28. April 2008 by pilot.
While working on the porting to the PIC32 of the code developed for the original PIC24 book it occurred to me that there were some obvious optimizations I had yet to explore.
For a starter, the graphic.c library was using several resources including Timer3, the Output Compare 3 module, the Output Compare 4 module and the SPI1 port in addition to one general purpose I/O (RG0 in this case). The OC3 module was used to generate the Horizontal Synchronization pulse portion of the composite video signal, but the module output pin RD2 (active as soon as the module is enabled) was not used. Rather RG0 was “manually” set during the OC3 interrupt service routine and reset during the Timer3 interrupt service routine. This added unnecessary overhead to the application as the OC3 module could easily be configured to do it all by itself…
