    Default Help with Comparator and Timer0

    I have been trying to write some code around the GIF that Darrel Taylor showed me but with mixed results. I have included the GIF and the code. Can someone take a look at it to see if what I am doing is a start? I am just using the LED to see if anything is working. It flashes but not when I expect it should

    Thanks Don

    I'll second the Comparator idea, but with a little difference. (Don't filter the signal)

    Set a timer to have a delay of 20ms or more.
    Using the comparator Interrupts, reload that timer every time you get a pulse.

    If the voltage drops below the comparator's trigger point, the timer will overflow.
    Use the timer interrupt/flag to determine when there's an error condition

    Here is what I have for code:
    Code:
    OSCCON = $60      'Set up oscillator 4mhz
    CMCON = %11000001
    TRISB = %00000000 'Set port B to output
    TRISA = $%11111111 'Set port A to input
    T0CON = %01000110 'Set up Timer 0 Config bits prescale 128
    INTCON.7 = 1 'Enable all unmasked interrupts
    INTCON.6 = 1 'Enable all unmasked peripheral interrupts
    RCON.7 = 0 'Disable interrupt priority
    Intcon.5 = 1 'Timer 0 overflow interrupt enable bit
    PIE2.6 = 1 'Comparator interrupt enable bit
    
    Main:
          
    While Pir2.6 = 0 or Intcon.2 = 0 'Check to see if comparator interrupt bit or Timer0 interrupt bit is set
    wend   
          if TMR0IF = 1 then gosub LED
          TMR0L = $64 'Preload Timer 0 
          Pir2.6 = 0  'Clear comparator interrupt bit
          goto main
          
          
    LED:
    
          High portb.4
          pause 100
          low portb.4
          pause 100
          goto LED
          
    End
