I am very new to programming microcontrollers. I was able to figure out the how to use the General I/O ports, but I am having a hard time understanding how the timers work on the chip. The chip's manual does not have an example to show me that this value will cause this to happen. The manual seems to be written in some sort of weird electronicese. None to clear for the newbie. Can anyone write me a simple program in c and walk me through what each value is going to do as a timer function. I am using the Zilog 64k development board with the ZDS II software. I have looked at other programs from the internet, but I still am not following.
I know I should have probably started off with a basic stamp or a pic of some kind, but I was able to get everything necessary for development for $40. The others were almost 3 times as much. I have kids, I can't afford that kind of extravagancy
