I2C Fan Controller
Hi, I am using a Microchip TC664 to control a small fan. Now I want to modify my program to run the fan for 20 seconds at half speed then 20 secs at full speed. For example:
Start
Run motor for 20 seconds at 50%
Stop
Run motor for 20 seconds at 100 %
Stop
I can't quite work out what function to use for the timing part of the code. Any suggestions anyone please?

With timing you mean the 20 seconds? If there is nothing else to do, simply use wait(20);. If there is something else to do, use for example a TimeOut (check the handbook page). Start the motor, attach a 20 seconds timeout. In that function change the speed of the motor, and attach next function to the timeout, etc.
