I think this solution is close. What I would do is to have the timer
set an occurrence every time it expires. Have the loop that requests
the data from the stabiliser wait for an occurrence every iteration.
Then allow a button or some type of logic (when you want to send a
request to change the units) also to set the occurrence when pressed.
This will also trigger the loop to execute, but will not interrupt the
timer.
I can certainly draw up what I mean rather quickly and email it if
needed. Let me know.
Hope that helped.
