Counting Timer0 and Timer1 overflows without any interrupt handler

[dw_picbasic]

Hmmmmm.
I was thinking I was going to have to use a mosfet solid state relay at the input from the frequency source, so that I could pump Timer0 through the remaining clock cycles necessary to raise its flag again.
I can see how pulling the Timer0 input pin high will disable the incoming clock from the frequency source.
But I can't see how it could be used to pump the remaining cycles to get Timer0 to its next overflow since there is no way to dis-engage the frequency source signal. The remaining clocking and the frequency source would conflict with one another.

Additionally, I was wondering if there is another way of pumping Timer0 to overflow, by using an internal software loop rather than doing it through an external clocking pin? I was wondering if a routine of adding 1 to TIMRL register and testing for a TMR1IF flag might work just as well.


Unless I'm wrong that the intent is to pump Timer0 from an output pin from the PIC?

Thanks :-]
