Changing Fosc on the go.

[MrNobody]

Hey guys..
Below are some of the code to read ADC on both AN0 and AN1 at 2Hz using PIC12F615.
The default FOSC is 4 MHz using internal oscillator.
There is a switch connect to GP2 and when the switch is pressed, GP2 -> HIGH.

What I'm trying to do is when the switch is pressed, I want to PIC to run at FOSC = 8MHz. When the switch is released, I want the PIC to run back at Fosc = 4MHz. As in, the PIC will just change its FOSC on the go.. Below is the rough code. As you can see, when GP2 -> HIGH, ANSEL and IOSCFS will change accordingly so that the PIC will sample at 4Hz instead of 2Hz.

Hmm.. will it work..? Is there any thing I missed..?
How long will it need for the internal oscillator to stabilize to its new Fosc..?

You can't write to the config register in code and so this will not work.

Oh.. bummer.. thanks anyway..
