It may be worth pointing out that one does not need to use ASM to use interrupts. I have (and use) 3 different versions/dialects of BASIC for PIC's and they all handle interrupts (including vectored interrupts) without having to delve into ASM. Same situation with C.

But this is a PBP forum... So the point is???

Gulp, I'm on it.

I'm probably going to go quiet for a while trying to figure this one out. I'll give it my best shot though.

I suspect you and Henrik could code it in about five minutes!

Then again I'm not you or Henrik..... :-)

Maybe I can now... 15 years ago would be a different story.

You are doing great! Keep at it!

Oh, forgot to mention the assignment is due Friday

Hi everyone.

I've been busy on the 'assignment'.

I've got the first part going namely:

Do a "MAIN_LOOP" that will TOGGLE a LED with a button press. Every time you press a button the LED changes state.

I built a test circuit which I made a small mistake on, then having zero programming confidence quickly convinced myself I'd made a code error, turned out I'd soldered a link into the wrong place (hours wasted), grrrr.

So on my PIC12F683 GPIO.5 has a push button attached which changes an the state of an LED on GPIO.0 everytime it's pressed, so far so good, now for the tricky part....!

It's taking longer than expected so my homework may not been handed in until Monday.

Still, only 14 Years and 48 weeks to catch up with you mackrackit!

Hi everyone.

Struggling a bit (well quite a bit actually) with the second / third parts of the project.

The brief says:

Then make a BYTE size variable and add the PBP interrupt routine for another LED. The new variable will increment a value of 1 every time the interrupt "triggers".

Ok, so what I'm trying to do here is to use the INTERRUPT flag as my counter (INTCON.2=1) I've set the prescaler at 1:256 = 65536us = 7.6HZ and set 'I' as a VAR BYTE.

My theory goes something like this:

If count (VAR BYTE 'I' incremented by the INTERRUPT flag) = 10 then TOGGLE the LED.

Here's how I'm trying to do it and where I'm falling down.

IF INTCON.2=1 ' INTERRUPT flag overflows
THEN I = I + 1  ' add 1 to the value of I.
INTCON.2=0    ' Reset the overflow flag.
IF I<=10 GOTO MAIN ' If count doesn't  = 10 loop again.
IF I =10 GOTO TOG ' If count = 10 then TOGGLE the LED.

I'm thinking at 10 'counts' at 7.6HZ should be approximately blink the LED once a second-ish.

All a bit fragmented I know but I hope what on saying is on the right tracks.

Any thoughts, pointers?
