  • LAB-X1 Timer2 Clock

    This example shows how to create a 24-hour time clock on the LAB-X1 using Timer2/PR2 match - with buttons to increment hours, minutes, reset the time to 12:00, and reset the Timer2 tick counter.

    Also shown is how to use the 16F1934 IOCBF interrupt flags to recognize button presses in the background. I.E. you don't need to poll port pins to detect a change, and no interrupts required.

    ' Description : PICBASIC PRO program to demonstrate using Timer2 for a
    ' 24 hour format clock. Time is shown on the LCD as Time = 11:14 with
    ' hours : minutes. The keypad is used to increment hours, minutes, reset
    ' the time to 12:00, and reset the Timer2 tick counter.
