Hi, I have a simple interface that generates an interrupt but updates the data register after approximately 70 ms. My question is, would it be reasonable to sleep for a short while in the bottom half of the handler before querying the data? My argument is that since the BH is interruptable it wouldnt do harm if I slept? Because I feel that 70ms is quite a while for idle-looping even in the BH for this.
