Instant Interrupts - Revisited

[Darrel Taylor]

but I'm consistantly getting the timer out by about -10 secs using the int_osc at 8MHz.

10 seconds in 3 minutes ....
That's around a 5.5% error, and the OSC would be 7,555,556 Mhz.

I think you're right about it not being the OSC

Are you using the Timer Template, or the Elapsed Timer?

Apropos of nothing in particular . . .

I finally had a project where I needed a simple background "heartbeat" indicator while doing other things with a 16F627A, so I used Darrel's "overkill" blinky.

It works like a charm.

I'll tell everyone this:

It took a few tries, but solutions for each problem and error message I encountered were found on this site. I just had to Do A Search.

. . . well, except one instance--I was getting a message that the file path to the source code was too long (something like in excess of 62 characters). So I moved the file set to a different location with a shorter path. Duh!

I suppose the point I'm making, though, is that beyond RTFM and RTFDS, it doesn't hurt to DAFS.

The search tool Darrel posted works really well, sometimes with as little as a few words from the error message.

Kudos to Darrel Taylor!
