SLEEP, WDT and INT

[Darrel Taylor]

Sure, just turn off the WDT in the configs.

Then when you put it to sleep, it will stay that way until an interrupt is triggered.

You can use ...

@  SLEEP

and you won't need to enter a period.

Do I need to use
@ sleep
?
With PBP, can I use something like:

loop:
sleep
goto loop

?

(I always disable WDT in the config words).

Yes you can do something like that... but the assembler line @ sleep will send your PIC in sleep mode forever... or 'till an interrupt happen. PBP SLEEP will send your PIC in sleep mode for a x period of time and then wake up. It's really up to you. I prefer the @ SLEEP

Thanks you all.

So I can use something like:


ON INTERRUPT GOTO myinthandler

start:
@ sleep


myinthandler:
...

In this case my main program is only the @sleep instruction and once the int has been processed, it goes back to sleep until next interrupt, is that right?

Yes, that should work.
