In this chapter, we will look at the combination of using C for the main cog (and any other cogs that are not required to be fast) and PASM for the critical cog that must run as fast as possible. For this mode, we must use the PAR method of passing variables between the main cog and the compression cog (in pure-C programming, we use shared variables, but that isn’t possible here). Hitching together fast and slow components hasbeen done before - see Figure 14-1 for an example!
In summary, we will do the following: ...
