    Thumbs up Speedometer and Odometer

    Hi Friends,

    I´m a beginner on PicBasic development, and I want to
    build a speedometer / hodometer for my Opel Astra.

    I´m using a 16F628 and a LCD (2x16) and a 4Mhz crystal
    I Want to keep a cronograph on the LCD´s first line and
    show the speed / distance on the second line.

    My doubt is : how can I keep counting the time for the
    cronograph and keep counting the pulses to calculate the
    speed and the distance ?
    Are Interrupts the solution ?
    If yes, how can I calculate the timming ?

    does anybody know if there´s some sample similar ?

    ps. Exscuse-me for my bad english...

    thanks in advance.

    Sounds like pretty good english to me.

    Here's an easy way to count the Time.
    Elapsed Timer Demo

    Then you can count the speed pulses with TMR0 using the T0CKI input. No interrupts required there, just polling.
