Counting Timer0 and Timer1 overflows without any interrupt handler

Thanks Darrel,
I didn't see the prescaler settings in setup code.
I see "PSA [OPTION_REG.3] set to 0 which sets the prescaller from the WDT to Timer0
But I don't see any settings for OPTION_REG.0, 1 and 2.
Are they there in the code and I missed them?
Thanks!!

On power-up, the default value of OPTION_REG is %11111111.
Which means the prescaler is already set to 1:256.
There is no need to set it again in the code.

Hi Duane,
If you look up OPTION_REG in the datasheet, you'll find that it defaults to "all ones", $FF, 255 whichever way you want to look at it.
This means that the prescaler ratio, when assigned to TMR0 defaults to 1:256 - so no need to change it.

/Henrik.

EDIT: Damn, you're fast today Darrel!

Sweet!!
Thanks!
I had a suspicion that was the case, but I have an old habit of wanting to make sure in the code.
This gives the old dog a new trick!! :-]
