Newbie Help with 28X2 and a clock....

[Mikler]

Hi!

Some newbie help/guidance appreciated....

I have created a circuit that controls 15 leds using available outputs and also uses ADC0 as a hibernate control (using the circuit on P65)

My question is, is it possible to run a timer (resolution in seconds would be fine) that runs 'simultaneously' while my main program runs (not required in 'hibernate' mode) that I can interrogate from my main 'loop' and make decisions based on elapsed time.

If this is really easy, any chance of some sample code?

Thanks in anticipation!

Mik

I think you want the settimer command. Look in the manual for an exact description (page 185 if I remember right) however it runs a timer in the background and increments the "timer" variable. The increment of the timer is set in the code (one second increment, 0.5 second, 2 second etc.).
