Hmm, ive read the datasheet again. Aparently there is a register called TMR0. I cant seem to find any more information on that though. There is the prescaler but that does the oposite of what i want. I have heard that you can count how long something takes using the timer. Would you just have a loop and keep checking the current value? Is that value in TMR0? Ive not seen anything else about making the timer overflow at less than 256.
