18F1220 and DT Instant Interrupts

[jderson]

I was successful in getting the "Hello World" program to work, but not so lucky with the "Blinky Light" program. The code below causes PORTB.4 to:

1. Go high on power-up for approximately 1 second.
2. Go low for a VERY short period of time.
3. Go high and stay there.

Why doesn't it blink?

Thank you for any help.

It could be the ...

INTCON3 = %01011011

Which enables both INT1 and INT2, and SET's their Interrupt flags.

But since there aren't any handlers for those interrupts, the IF bit never gets reset, and the system locks up on Un-Handled interrupts.

hth,

ADDED: DT_INTS handles ALL the enable, priority and interrupt flag bits. There's no need to set them manually.

That solved the problem! Thank you Darrell, and thank you for the use of your programs.

My Pleasure!

Wait till you've got 6 or 7 different interrupts firing.
You'll love it even more.
