Hello Melanie & Everyone. Up until now when I wanted to run a program for a specific time I would simply count a variable:
high portb.0
pause 1000
low portb.0
pause 1000
let X = X + 001
if X >= 10 then XXXXXX
This program will flash an LED 10 times and jump to a different loop. However, is there a way, an EASY way, to substitute the last 2 lines with a "backround timer" that will automatically jump to XXXXXX after say 5 minutes or whatever regardless of what the PIC is currently doing? Thank you. - Peter
