WDT times not as expected 18f46k80

hi guys i am trying to find why the WDT timeout is not as i am expecting

as i understand it the WDT sends a 4ms pulse originated from the 31Khz osc to the post scaler and gives 4ms x postscaller when the sleep is set

i have set it up for 4ms x 16384 = 65.53 sec , but its triggering at @ 93sec

wondering what may be the problem as i am sure the osc is set correctly to use the LF-INTOSLFO

I would like to change the WDT value in CONFIG2h while in the program
is this possible , and how is it done ?

It is possible.
DT done that, and post code example.
Here is link to topic
http://www.picbasic.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=4093
But link's are dead. And I can't find it anywhere on my pc...
As you can see from Darrel's post, you need just to copy PBP's WRITE command and set CFGS bit.

EDIT:
Here it is
http://www.picbasic.co.uk/forum/atta...8&d=1420287592

ok thanks ill see if i can get it work

i would like to change it to about 4 different setting depending on the functions triggering the sleep

wow that made it simple , and DT did this bak in 2006 very cool

thanks pedja089

Glad to help :)

How often are you going to sleep and how often do you expect it to actually change?
Remember that the CONFIG words are in flash memory. If you're changing those bits often enough you're going to wear them out.
Datasheet claims 10000 cycles typical, if you're writing once per hour you're hitting 10000 writes after 14 months in operation. If you're writing once per second then, well then it's 3 hours....

/Henrik.

THATS A GOOD POINT - thanks hendrick i never considered that issue

and that will be an issue in the long run for any type of writes to flash

it would be good to make the config words read a location in the EErpom , which would not be a problem for change updates

now is that possible ???

for this app the changes are not that often , but wearing out the flash due to constant changes is a concern ,

i have 4 sleep types at the moment with only 2 times settings for the WDT , and they change based on options selected and should not change that often after setup , but the ability to change them is a good one

one approch was to apply multi sleep settings of the base time period of the WDT , so if option needed 512x 4ms , but option 2 need 2048 x 4ms then just ensure you put the unit back to sleep x 4 when that option2 is required

if you need variable wdt reset times why not have the wdt reset decrement a counter and go back to sleep , and only fully wake when counter = 0 , that way wdt reset is infinitely variable with no flash writes at all

Sounds like you are wanting to deal with asynchronous events. If that is the case, then the "EXIt BY INTERRUPT" feature should be used.

3.5.1 EXIT BY INTERRUPT

Any of the available interrupt sources can cause the
device to exit from an Idle mode or the Sleep mode to
a Run mode. To enable this functionality, an interrupt
source must be enabled by setting its enable bit in one
of the INTCON or PIE registers. The exit sequence is
initiated when the corresponding interrupt flag bit is set.

The instruction immediately following the SLEEP
instruction is executed on all exits by interrupt from Idle
or Sleep modes. Code execution then branches to the
interrupt vector if the GIE/GIEH bit of the INTCON
register is set, otherwise code execution continues
without branching.

i have the other sleep interupts going to thier routines ok
WDT has now been set to my required min time
and a WDT counter decriment the counter with pick off points as required
i think its a better way in the long run
