    Default Multi timer interrupt question

    I'm going to use Darrel Taylor's interrupt program and want to run 2 separate timers. So when input 1 is on the timer starts and runs and can be reset. While it's timing I want to turn different lights on/off depending on how long the input has been on.

    I then want to do the same with a second input.

    I'm looking through all the paperwork (trying to RTFM) and I see the Gosub ResetTime and Gosub StartTimer commands. This is from the "Timers, Clocks, RTC's: Elapsed Timer Demo"

    And I also see from Darrel's page that there are up to 4 timers in the Elapsed.bas.

    What are the commands to start and reset the individual timers?

    I've been searching the forum and Darrel's site and haven't seen or have overlooked this information.

    Thank you,
    Hylan

    Default Re: Multi timer interrupt question

    I'm trying to start with just getting one timer to work and do the usual "Flash an LED", or actually toggle between 2 LED's so I can tell where in the timing sequence it is. With what I have below, LED2 is on at startup and then it switches to LED1 and never toggles again. I think I have something wrong in my setup but don't know what. Once I get this working I would like to add the TMR1 (TimerB).

    Any help is appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Hylan

    Hylan,

    The Elapsed Timer only works with Timer1.
    And there is only one Elapsed Timer.
    That's not to say you couldn't write a program to do multiple Elapsed Timers.

    The INT_HANDLER for TMR1_INT has to point to the _ClockCount routine in the include file.

    Code:
            INT_Handler   TMR1_INT,  _ClockCount,   PBP,  yes
    DT
