comments on a/d converter so far
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.
