Flowcode 5 Anyone?

The duty cycle appears to be 50%, so the voltage will average to half, no matter what your speed is.

On the bright side, Darrel Taylor's interrupts do all the assembly thinking for us. So if you chose to go that route, you really don't need to learn assembly. I took a very brief look at the FlowCode interrupts, and I think I like Darrel's even more now (if that is possible) !

Gee, I wish you guys came with English subtitles so that I could understand you.

Hi, "Picstar"

Endly knowing what you try to do ...

the answer is quite simple : use TMR1 and the CCPx module in capture mode for each rising edge ( see relevant Pic datasheet chapter )...

that will trigger an interrupt for each pulse of your speedo ... or simply raise a " data ready " flag ...

just yours to read the CCPR1 registers and store the result elsewhere ...

BTW ... I do not remember having seen ONE compiler offering the " capture " function already cooked ... Flowcode included !!!

O.K. Ace, Well I did some online research and found a lot of info and glory be..even examples of what I am trying to do. It is an online book over at Mikroe.com call "Pic Processors:Programming in Basic". There are some slight changes between their version of BASIC and PBP, but very few so far. Thats all I ever wanted was a working example, and picture of course. I see a lot of reading in front of me, so I need to skip to it. Thanks

Wow! good find on the book... Looks to be a well written text with excellent examples and schematics. Stick with it and you will be rewarded. It's amazing what these little microcontrollers are capable of.
