Hi.

It seems as you are mixing things up.
To make a delay in the code you have two options:

1. Use a timer interrupt.
2. Use software timing loops.

Your delay() function below will do nothing good.
What do you expect that it will do ??

The count variable that the interrupt code tries
to manage will be trashed by the delay function.

Why would the two calls to delay(numberseconds) give
two different delays?? What is "numberseconds" and
where is it given a value?

Using which compiler?

Why will it be one second?
