DT_INTS-14 , Elasped_INT, and 16F87 code not working
This code is written to choose between two time durations of 5 minutes and 30 seconds. A hardware switch is wired to RB4 which is pulled high. In one position the switch is open and the port is high. The other position pulls RB4 to ground. RB4 is coded for Interrupt on change. This switch will determine the time duration to use.
Ports RB0 and RB3 are outputs to leds. One will be on while the other is the off state. They switch states every time the timer reaches it's elapsed time of either 30 seconds or 5 minutes. whatever is set by RB4.
I had this code working for an 18F device and trying to get this same code to work for a 16F87 using DT_INTS-14. Nothing happens when running on the pic. The pic's clock it running fine. MCLR is pulled high as it should be. Would be appreciate it if someone could help.
Code:

Include "DT_INTS-14.bas"
Include "ReEnterPBP.bas"
Include "Elapsed_INT.bas"

Re: DT_INTS-14 , Elasped_INT, and 16F87 code not working
Maybe it's my eyes but I see NO "Gosub StopTimer, or any GOSUB ResetTime" routines. Also you should NOT be using GOSUB's inside an interrupt.
Re: DT_INTS-14 , Elasped_INT, and 16F87 code not working
Try WDT_OFF WDT will reset everything if ISR takes too long, at least that's what I read once upon a time.

Hi,

This is one of my pet peeves.... I see it being mentioned "all the time" but never ever does anyone give an explanation to why.
I mean, I CAN see reasons for it not being a good idea but to just generally advising against it is a bit strong IMO.
One reason for it not being a good idea is, for example, if you're GOSUB'ing a routine (from within the ISR) that you ALSO may be GOSUB'ing from somewhere in your main program loop - if an interrupt occurs while the main program loop is within the subroutine. If that happens the "instance" of the routine that the main program is executing may be "corrupted" by the ISR executing the same piece of code.
I'm not saying I'm correct here, what I'm asking for it to please explain WHY you should NOT do it. Doing so will help us UNDERSTAND and not just painstakingly follow an advice that we do not understand the reasoning behind.

Re: DT_INTS-14 , Elasped_INT, and 16F87 code not working
the problem is with the stack . core 14 devices have a 8 level hardware stack , 4 levels can be used by pbp leaving 4 for your program. an interrupt will use 1 of these , a gosub in the interrupt uses another .
its not impossible to do but you need to be mindful of the limitations
Re: DT_INTS-14 , Elasped_INT, and 16F87 code not working
I seem to remember when using pic16F's and interrupt on change you had to read portb to clear a mismatch?
Code:
dummy = portb
@ INT_RETURN
Re: DT_INTS-14 , Elasped_INT, and 16F87 code not working
Mark_s, You are correct, But who reads the data sheets anyways? Henrick and Richard, you are both correct, Also there are the extra cycles used up in the stack execution.
