(1,5) I guess the Hint didn't work. You can use the DIG function to extract the individual digits.
<pre> d1 = Seconds DIG 0<br> d2 = Seconds DIG 1</pre>Then you don't need to re-count everything.

(2) For common cathode 7 segment displays, you should have seven resistors, 1 to each Anode, around 270-330 ohms. The cathodes should have an NPN transistor (1 per digit) with a 10K resistor going from the PIC (PORTA.0 and PORTA.1) to the BASE of the transitors. Emitters connect to ground, and Collectors go to the cathodes.

The transistor will invert the signal, so instead of putting a LOW on the pin to turn on a digit, you would make it high.

(3) OK, the crystal is close to the chip. Good. What about the capacitors? No long wires?

(4) 7805 is OK, do you have good sized caps for filtering? And more important, do you have 0.1uF capacitor between +5V and GND? Close to the chip? For decoupling.

P.S. "my prescaler is asigned to 256 ('_')", good one

now i understanded the HINT

what amazing (dig ) function do it is very very helpfull in my case

you know

with your code and your hint i can update my project before i completely build it !!!!!!!!! that is the truth

frist of all thank you for help

---------------------->
1- i donot have any capacitor in the power circuit.
2-i am using a 2 capacitor with the crystal.
3-the desister!!!

i cannot know really what type of 7 segmant i am using common(cathod or anode)

but the common line must kept high and the other terminal i will give it low to power the segmant assocciated that is it,,, what type is it? common cathod or
anode?


till now i didnot modify my code with the amazing (DIG) function but i will try it now


thnx a lot for help i will update the result sooooooooooooooooooooooooooon wait for me


bye for now
