OSCTUNE and 12F683

[RussMartin]

If you set INTOSC instead of INTOSCIO, you should get Fosc/4 on the OSC2 pin, which in your case, you should get 32.8khz. Hope you've got a tight freq counter or a good o'scope!

Thanks for the suggestions. I don't know why I can't find what I need in the 12F683 data sheet but (as I'm sure you've noticed), Microchip's data sheets aren't always as user-friendly as they perhaps could be.

And I've got both a good (but old) frequency counter (Hewlett-Packard 5300B that last calibrated at 200 ppb) and of course I've got a scope . . . three, right now. (Although my venerable Philips PM3266 is a dinosaur.)

Interestingly, I intend to use that 32.8 kHz coming out. Although I can probably make do with anything between 32 and 34 kHz, so the tuning may not be as fussy as I am.

Again, thanks.

It might be more accurate to run the PIC as fast as you can (8Mhz on the internal) and write a blinky LED to give you ~32khz on a single pin.

main: led (whatever pin) = 1
pauseus 29
led = 0
pauseus 28
goto main

1 cycle for each LED=x statement, 2 cycles for goto, 57 cycles for each pause = 61 cycles total.
8Mhz / 4 = 2 MIPS / 61 cycles = 32,768 Hz.
Then, between changing the pauseus values, and tweaking OSCTUNE, you should get dead-on exactly what you really want.
