I'm pretty new to kernel programming and, from the university, the 
threaded way looked the better (and unique) for me..
Let me find some documentation on timers and I will restructure the 
interrupt management. Yes I need only to delay the matrix-scan activity
without waste cpu time.

In next version will be fixed.
