Problem with the counting external clock pulse
PostPosted: Thu Dec 11, 2008 2:19 pm     Reply with quote

Hi everyone,

I face a weird problem. I have this piece of code to count external clock pulses.
When I first time run in debugger mode with setting breakpoint in while loop end; it gives around variable 27000-32000 count more.

My external clock is clean, and I use port A3 to external trigger to oscillator.
But after stopping first time I loop around it gives me accurate number.
If someone can throw light on this one it would be a great help.

Thanks
nehal

Code:

int8 count = 0;
int16 counter = 0;

//!timer1 ISR
#INT_TIMER1
void wave_timer() {   
   clear_interrupt(INT_TIMER1);   
   count++;
}


void main()
{
   int16 i = 0;
   
   //!initalization
   setup_adc_ports(sAN1|VSS_VDD);
   setup_adc(ADC_CLOCK_INTERNAL|ADC_TAD_MUL_0);   
   setup_wdt(WDT_OFF);
   setup_timer_0(RTCC_INTERNAL);
   setup_timer_1(T1_DISABLED);
   setup_timer_2(T2_DISABLED,0,1);
   setup_timer_3(T3_DISABLED|T3_DIV_BY_1);
   setup_comparator(NC_NC_NC_NC);
   setup_vref(FALSE);
   setup_low_volt_detect(FALSE);
   setup_oscillator(OSC_32MHZ);                  //!oscillator freq is 32 MHz
   //setup_oscillator(OSC_64MHZ);                  //!oscillator freq is 64 MHz
   enable_interrupts(GLOBAL);                   //!enable global interrupt 

   while(1){
      count = 0;
      counter = 0;
     
      //!timer1 counter setup ...     
      setup_timer_1(T1_EXTERNAL|T1_DIV_BY_1);         //!setup timer
      clear_interrupt(INT_TIMER1);                    //!clear timer before use
      enable_interrupts(INT_TIMER1);   

      //delay_ms(1000);
      set_timer1(0);
      output_high(PIN_A3);
      delay_ms(6);
      output_low(PIN_A3);
     
      //delay_ms(50);
     
      counter = get_timer1();
      setup_timer_1(T1_DISABLED);
      delay_ms(100);
   }     
}

It sure sounds like a debugger problem. Program a real chip and I bet the problem goes away.
