THE Gag ...
Hi, Steve
IF you want a program for a real time clock ( trimmable ) with a lonesome 12C50x ...
I Have !!!
hi,Hi ...
Alain
OK, there's a trick somewhere ... but it works !!!
PS: Even OTP device programs can be modified ( "1"s can be overwritten by "0"s ) ... do not repeat it !!!

Why insist on using 32 Bits when you're not even able to deal with the first 8 ones ??? ehhhhhh ...

IF there is the word "Problem" in your question ...
certainly the answer is " RTFM " or " RTFDataSheet " !!!

Can anyone give me a piece of code that can do the time keeping in PICBASIC without using interrupts ? ? ? Even if it just detects the roll-over and polls a flag, it'll do...
I wrote a PICBASIC code for a digital clock without interrupts.
No matter what prescaller i select, the clock runs 3 times slower.
I check the timer roughly every 50 instructions for a roll-over (By checking the MSB). . .
When i enable interrupts for the same code with same prescaler, it works fine.

Hi
try out latest version 16f54 as anyhow you have to programm few times to before you freeze the software-- it will help you being a flash device-- yesy one off costly and later as you finish you can finally use 16c54--
i have piece working with clk8.asm file as provded in the application note. Reg 12hr mode -yes let me also try

I've done it ! ! !
Hey everyone,
I finally got the clock running, without using any interrupts !!!
Its giving equal accuracy as the one using Instant interrupts . . .
Now next i'm going to make a 4 segment led clock using the PIC12C508A.
Using the 12C508A, i can make a complete clock for less than $1.49 ! ! !

You need 8 pins for LEDs and 4 pins for the commons; Totally 12 pins.
Will you use a serial 4x7 LED display?
If yes, it won't save you much money.

(not possible in $0.59 so i've updated my previous message)
Total cost will be atleast $1.49 (upto $1.79).
I will be using a shift register in combination with a BCD 7segment driver IC
(74HC595 = $0.2 , CD4511 = $0.2)
(12C508

a single pic will cost you less and will take less PCB room.. let's say 16f630 or grandpa 16F628

It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
There's no problem, only learning opportunities.
