WaitMS will call the routine _WAITMS. R24 and R25 are loaded with the number of milliseconds to wait.

Uses and saves R30 and R31.

Depending on the used XTAL the asm code can look like :

 

_WaitMS:

_WaitMS1F:

 Push R30                 ; save Z

 Push R31

_WaitMS_1:

 Ldi R30,$E8         ; delay for 1 mS

 Ldi R31,$03

_WaitMS_2:

 Sbiw R30,1 ; -1

 Brne _WaitMS_2         ; until 1 mS is ticked away

 Sbiw R24,1

 Brne _WaitMS_1         ; for number of mS

 Pop R31

 Pop R30

 Ret
