In the code I am using, I am continuosly sending data to the IOWarrior, even tho that data has not changed. Is it OK to do this? To change the code so that it only updates the matrix when the data changes can be done (and probably should be), but will be difficult.
I am using the IOWarrior matrix as a display unit for radio tuning frequencies from M$ Flight Simulator. This involves reading the data from FS via a .dll and then sending it to IOW.
why is it difficult?
You only have to store the data in an extra variable and in the next cycle compare the new fetched data with the stored old data. Thats all.
Your probably right that its not going to be difficult and that was the way I was going to do it.
I guess I was just feeling lazy when I wrote that!
But, the question remains, will it hurt the IOW to contiuously send data to it?
