If you have the following 3 values: 100 45 47, have it throw out the 100 and return a value of 46.

I have some experience in optimizing code. Would you mind if I look at the source and help save some memory?

Thanks, that's a great idea, I'll try it


Please optimize this if you can, it uses lots of memory


Code:
void doDisplay0_60() {

  
  switch ( g_Mode060 ) {
      
    // STAGE VEHCLE INTRO
    case 0:
      LCD::LcdCommandWrite(B00000001);  // clear display, set cursor position to zero
      LCD::print("STAGE VEHICLE...");
            
      if( instantmph() < 1000ul )
        g_Mode060 = 1;
      
      g_StartTime060 = 0;
      g_StopTime060 = 0;
      
      break;
      
      // ON YOUR MARK GET SET AND GO
    case 1: 
      LCD::LcdCommandWrite(B00000001);  // clear display, set cursor position to zero
      LCD::print("..ON YOUR MARK..");
      LCD::gotoXY(1,1);
      LCD::print("...GET SET...  ");
      delay2(2000);
      LCD::LcdCommandWrite(B00000001);
      LCD::print("      G0!      ");    
      
      
      delay2(3000);
      
      // Start the Timer and compensate for the delay
      g_StartTime060 = millis2() - 3000; 
      g_Mode060 = 2;
      break;
  
    // ITS GO TIME
    case 2:
    
      // Timer's already started
     // IF NOT AT 60 mph yet, DSPLAY BIG TIMER
     if( instantmph() < 60000ul )  
       bigNum( instantmph() ,"CUR","SPD");
     
     // Else, move on
    else {
       g_Mode060 = 3;
       LCD::LcdCommandWrite(B00000001);
     }
      break;
    case 3:
      // Lets stop the timer,
      // But only once
      if( g_StopTime060 == 0 ) {
        g_StopTime060 = millis2() - 500; // reads 500 high due to processing
      }
      LCD::print("0 to 60 in...");
      LCD::gotoXY(1,1);   
      LCD::print(format((g_StopTime060 - g_StartTime060))); 
      LCD::print(" Seconds");
      
      g_Mode060 = 0;
      delay2(5000);          
      break;
  }
  
    
} // end doDisplay0_60
