TMR0 as counter

[savnik]

I use TMR0 as counter to measure the frequency at RA4.
How to get the decimal numbers.
For 135,6 , i take only the 135 from TMR0.I want to take and the ,6 number.

Hi Savnik,

Since TMR0 is 8-bit, there is no way you can get 135,6 as you like.

You need to use TMR1 which is 16-bit.
Then, you will read 135,6 at TMR1 register as 1356.

Hi, Sayzer

As our friend Savnik didn't tell us which pic he uses ... it's difficult to answer.

let's take the 18F252 i.e.

Timer 0 can be 8 or 16 bits ... as you decide.

Some more details from Savnik could be useful ... but we are used to !!!

You are right Alain.

That is my bad.

But, I take 16F628A as the default PIC in my head when there is no mention of the PIC type.

Soon enough I will change my default PIC to 18F2550.

Thanks for yours answer.
My default PIC is pic16f88.
Maybe i change with pic18f1330 which have timer0 16bit.

Hi, Savnik

Also could eventually be useful :

the PIC freq.

The Porta.4 max input freq. to be measured

Savnik,

16F88 already has 16-bit timer.

Why change the whole car while you can change one tire and get going?
