Hi,
i am using "PIC Simulator IDE" from OshonSoft to compile and
assemble
my
code for the 16F628. All is working fine. But I have got the problem,
that when I want to have i.e. 50 Hz frequency output to one pin on
port a, i never get the result I am expecting.
I compute like this : clock frequency is 16 Mhz, so internal clock is
4MHz. If I use a prescaler value of 1:4 (i.e PS2, PS1, PS0 = '001')
and a TMR0 value of 178, I should expect the following output
frequency:
78 = 256 - 178
(4MHz : 4) : 78 = 12.821 Hz. so all right. in my ISR another register
becomes decremented and I only toggle the output pin, when that
register is 0.
12.821Hz : 256 = ~50Hz.
Using an oszi, i read out a high time from about 22ms. I cant believe
that this offset from about 10 percent is all what i can expect.
The same PIC and the same IDE create a fairly exact High time from
about 5 ms if i use a "waitms 5" statement.
what is wrong?
code snippets: (vorteilerwert is (PS2, PS1, PS0),i.e. 1)
OPTION_REG = OPTION_REG + vorteilerwert
TMR0 = zaehlerwert
INTCON.T0IE = 1 'enable Timer0 interrupts
INTCON.GIE = 1 'enable all un-masked interrupts
OPTION_REG.T0CS = 0 'set Timer0 clock source to internal
'instruction cycle clock
...
On Interrupt
Save System
INTCON.GIE = 0
TMR0 = zaehlerwert
ASM: decf irqpause,1
ASM: btfsc STATUS, Z
Goto doit
Goto donothing
doit:
Toggle servoaus
donothing:
INTCON.T0IF = 0 'enable new TMR0 interrupts
INTCON.GIE = 1 'enable all un-masked interrupts

Hi Wolfgang
At the end of your interrupt service routine you need
a resume to restore your saved state and return , I
Don't know if this has anytyhing to do with it but
worth trying

HI Peter,
In the 16F877 PIC and others, you need to adjust your TIMER0 reload value by
a value of 2. It's in the midrange guide.

Ok... Peter...
I have that resume in my programm. I just forgot to paste it into the
snippet. The suggestion with the adjustment of the reload value could
be the solution. I will try this evening
