comments on a/d converter so far

[cammo]

This is what i got so far for the project which im doing using
a pic16f870 microcontroller.
It is a heartbeat monitor which increments the counter everytime
an analogue signal from the heart is registered.This is the
first part where im only reading each heartbeat and incr. the
counter. Am i on the right track or way off? also imstill confused
about how to go about making an interrupt that after a minute the
value in the counter will be displayed,any tips will be helpful.

The problem we have here is that you're using Assembler and this is a PICBasic forum... if you had PICBasic, you could simply use the COUNT command and count the number of pulses in a set perod...

cammo,

in addition to what Melanie has already said:

If you really think this is something to be posted on a PicBasic forum
then it should go to the Off Topic section.

You have a total of 4 posts on this forum.
Your posts are in 3 different threads
and in two different categories

and they are all about the same thing.

Do you really think this is necessary ?
