Dear all
I am using pic16f877 for reading the no. of rotation of encoder. I am using TIMER1 as counter.The problem is that even when I am not connecting the encoder wire to the RC0 or RC1 pin the value of timer register keeps changing. I am sending the value of timer register to UART. I have even tried making TMR1ON=0 but the value kept changing
. My current settings of timer are :-(pls. note "//" indicates comment line, btw I am using HiTechC compiler)
//START OF Configuration of different bits of T1CON
T1CKPS0=0;
T1CKPS1=0;//prescaler is 1:1
T1OSCEN=1;//for pin RC1 as external clock input
T1SYNC=1;// DO NOT SYNCHRONIZE TO EXTERNAL CLOCK INPUT
TMR1CS=1;//for external clock as rising edge
TMR1ON=1;//Stop/start Timer
//End OF Configuration of different bits of T1CON
Pls. help urgently.
I have attached the .c file and uart output for your reference.
