PIC16F887 timers

[ytterx]

hi, i'm trying to make a clock with this PIC. the only problem is that i don't het the timers working like i want. what i want is something like a loop that just cals an subroutine. and if the interrupt of the timer occures it executes another subroutine and then returns to the loop. could someone help me? i got al code for displaying the clock I only need it to be accurate to i want to use (a) timer(s).

How accurate do you want it to be? You'll either need to use a 32.768khz oscillator or perhaps a **broken link removed** (or equivalent).

Post the code you're having trouble with and a schematic.

 

[ytterx]

it doesn't have to be very accurate, as long as it accurate enough, like 1 second miss on a hour is something i would like to see if possible.

hereś a link to the schematic: **broken link removed**

You need to make a clock but for the clock time base must run with built in timers?

Is that what you asking?

In my clocks I set a common interrupt occur time to do both work (show display + count 1 second time update).

The last clock I made 4 digit one I use 5mS interrupts

 

[ytterx]

yes, that's exactly what i want, could you give me an example how to use it?

 

[ytterx]

ok, if you guys won't help me further i search further..

so this is what i got at the moment: (it works..not exactly what i want..)

       end

the problem is i cant set increment a var in the interupt section.. am i'm doing something wrong??

 

[ytterx]

BUMP!!

no respons..

i really need help on this. the interrupts work and the timer 2 but somehow it won't let me output it on the 7-segments. plz help!!
