The approach I took was to fire an event from C once the internal buffer went from empty to having some content. That way I wasn't flooding the AVM with lots of events that were redundant. The fastest it could possibly fire would be once per frame. The issue I had with the ArduinoConnector was making sure that the UART didn't flood (which can happen quick when you only have 2k buffer and a 115200 transmission speed).
Timer calls happen in their own thread, so that is not a bad way to do it -- I just didn't want to keep diving into my ANE if there was no data. -Nick On Sat, Feb 11, 2012 at 12:33 PM, Tomislav Pokrajcic <tomis...@svemir.net>wrote: > We didn't experience any problems with frequent ANE polling, but event > driven approach is probably better for working with MIDI signals. > > Our data is changing constantly and much faster than we poll it, so > working with timer was the only way for us. > > However wandering if it would be a better approach to trigger data updates > by status events from C or have timer in as3 as we did it?
