Calculating and setting PIC TMR LOOP

Hi,
I have a PIC program using TMR0 and need to calculate and set the TIMER LOOP to be 20MS.
The clock speed is 4MHz.
Can anyone help me set it please?
Thanks,
Camerart.

Yup!!! Is this for "Ye Olde pic18f4431" per chance??

The 4mHz will give 1uS clocks... You need to count to 20,000.. presetting TMR0L and TMR0H with 0xB1DF and set T0CON with 0x88.. ( timer on.. 16 bit.. prescaler off.. ) you need to preset each interrupt..
If you only have the 8 bit timer, then you'll need the prescaler.. A prescaler of 128 and a preset of 99 will do the job..
T0CON = 0x86.. TMRO = 0x63..
 

Forsooth 'tis an 18LF2520. (I've got one on a test PCB, before moving to an 19LF4431)

Here's the program, with only the above T0CON and TMR0 settings, before trying your program from the other thread. (NOTE: bit 6 is '1'?? for 8BIT)

It takes a while to see both LOOPs. Cut and paste from LINE 152, into H-UART for test in Oshonsoft SIM.

Thanks, C.

Hi I,
I've just realised that the program needs a radio module HC-12. to test it. I'll do that next.
I've connected 1x SERVO as a test.
