Heya there, how accurate will a pic chip be, and how much will it loose a day? Minutes? Seconds? As some of you know I am making a clock for a pic.
If you use a 3.2768MHz crystal for the PIC, +/-second/day is not a problem.
If you use a 32.768KHz watch crystal on Timer1 osc, again +/-1 sec/day
It is possible to use the most popular range of crystals to give accurate times.
Now when I use the wait command, it will only allow a maximum of 65 seconds before I have to loop that command.
Which loop are you using.?
But with pause I dont get the same syntax error alert.
No idea what this means.?
Now time is really tight since my electronics teacher leaves at the end of term so quick replies will be appreciated.
Furthermore could someone tell me how to loop using BASIC programming.
Which version of Basic would that be.?
I think its like b1 or something. But I also read that you can only loop a maximum of 5 times? But I might not need to if you guys give me the go ahead with using the pause function. Cheers guys"
