Hi,

Yes, you're right. That's a possibility and to be safe we can cache
those.

We're relying on the same mechanism that keeps the event buffer from
becoming full. Since it is just as (un)likely a possibility. That's
why you must size the event buffer appropriately taking into account
your system's latency, etc.

And if the event buffer becomes full, that indicates something really
wrong happened in the controller. You shouldn't be getting 100's of
events at a time.

But yes, we can address the overwriting issue.

Either:

1) Cache all incoming events. Requires double the event buffer space.

2) Cache just one event and write back only '4' during hard
   interrupt. Then in threaded interrupt read the one event from
   cache, and process the remaining events from buffer as before.
   Doesn't require a large cache, but a bit messier.

Any other thoughts or ideas?

Regards,
John
