I have been programming PIC18F8720’s for the last few days. And things have been going OK. But I have been working with some TIMER code, and I did some calculations, and what I found was that the timer was being called a heap more than it should have been. In the example code it was being called 240 times more often. 240 times. <\/p>\n
And then in my main loop I compared PIR3.3 and called the timer handler if it was HIGH. This code was fairly simple<\/p>\n But the code was running a heap more than it should have. I worked out I needed to INIT the timer every time through the TIMER_LOOP. The code below shows the GOSUB. It now works.<\/p>\n I have been programming PIC18F8720’s for the last few days.
