timer0 10ms setting check
HI guys , i transfer some code from another processor which from the data sheet hs the same registers but seem to be getting a 20ms timer0 , not a 10ms interupt
all looks correct but it cant be , can someone have a look and see where i made the error
pic 18f46k80
osc32 internal,
timer 0 to give a 10ms interupt

Re: timer0 10ms setting check
As your error is double, it's likely a problem with the 2:1 prescaler. Perhaps your setting of T0CON is being overwritten in one of the include files.
Or your clock is running at 16Mhz.

Re: timer0 10ms setting check
Not sure it's got anything to do with your problem but flipping INTCON.5 does not start/stop TMR0 - it enables/disables the interrupt.
Code:
Timer0_Count:
INTCON.5 = 0 ' STOP TIMER <----- No it doesn't
T0Count1 = T0Count1 + 1 ' inc counter on interupt flag
TMR0H = $63 ' preset Timer 0 to a 10ms timer
TMR0L = $C0
INTCON.5 = 1 ' START TIMER <------ No it doesn't
@ INT_RETURN
RETURN
Also, verify that your oscillator is actually running at the expected frequency. A simple LED blinking at 10Hz will tell you if it's off bu a factor of 2.

Re: timer0 10ms setting check
YES CHECKED THE PRESCALLER AS SHOWN
osc as shown
ameding the interupt routine as follows changes nothing
it not clear what i missed
Code:
' ============ Timer 0 Interupt handler ================
' a 10 ms timer interupt
Timer0_Count:
T0CON.7 = 0 ' Bit7 - TMR0 1= Enable 0 = Stop timer
INTCON.5 = 0 ' clear timer0 interupt IE
T0Count1 = T0Count1 + 1 ' inc counter on interupt flag
TMR0H = $63 ' preset Timer 0 to a 10ms timer
TMR0L = $C0
INTCON.5 = 1 ' enable Interupt
T0CON.7 = 1 ' Bit7 - TMR0 1= Enable 0 = Stop timer
@ INT_RETURN
RETURN
Re: timer0 10ms setting check
yes i fixed it after puting in a pin to toggle found it was jumping out of the service routine
sorry guys
Re: timer0 10ms setting check
also dont take the MIkro timer calculator at its word
i been testing lower osc +PPL for power usage ( lower the main osc the lower the current use)
when using thier calculator for 1mhz main osc + PPl - so entering the value of 4Mhz on the caclulator FOR 10MS , gives T0CON = $88 , TRM0H = $D8 TRM0L = $F0
which is does not give you a 10ms time it give you a 40ms time , as the t0con setting bit 3 uses the base osc bypass prescale ,
entering in the a main osc of 1mhz AND 10MS interupt give a T0CON= $88, TRM0H=F6,TRM0L=3C - which is correct
handy tool just need to know its not correct when timer0 on 18f gives a tocon = $88 - bypassing the prescaler
Re: timer0 10ms setting check
For accurate timings you also need to take the interrupt latency and the time it takes to actually reload the timer registers into account.
The interrupt fires, then it takes a couple of hundred instructions to do the context saving etc before you actually get to reloading the timer for another 10ms period. If it's used for something like a clock it'll run slow.
What you usually do in the ISR is stop the timer, read it's value, then ADD the reload value (minus a fudge factor to account for the time the timer isn't running) to the value being read from the timer. Then you write the new value back and restart the timer. That way the interrupt latency is always compensated for.

To save context?

Re: timer0 10ms setting check
Yes, when you're using DT-Ints with an PBP-type ISR it has to save all the system variables when entering the ISR (and restore them on exit). The exact amount of time that takes can probably be different depending on device, if you're using LONGs, what PBP commands are being used in the program and so on. I've measured it a couple of times and the notes I can find at the moment says that the latency is around 20us on an 18F4431 running at 40MHz with a program compiled using LONGs.
20us at 40MHz is 160 instructions.

Re: timer0 10ms setting check
thanks for that , yes i dont need it too accurate for this requirement
