Strange math results [Solved]
PostPosted: Wed Apr 06, 2011 4:28 am     Reply with quote

I am trying to calculate time it takes a square wave to complete, problem i am facing is compiler seems to fail doing simple arithmetic, hope someone can tall what i am doing wrong here;

compiler 4.114
PIC 18F6722/18F67J10

There are a number of issues here, including one that is probably causing the problem...

First, when you re-enable the interrupts after having printed the times, the interrupt may well _already_ have triggered. As such the time you then get _will_ be garbage. You need to clear the timer, then clear the interrupt, and only then re-enable it.
The big problem though is disabling global interrupts inside an interrupt. This won't work. When an interrupt is called, the global interrupt flag, is disabled by the _hardware_. So when you arrive in the EXT_ISR handler, the global interrupts are already disabled. There is a special 'return' instruction used at the end of the interrupt handler, which _automatically_ re-enables the global interrupt flag after it executes. This is part of the PIC hardware handling for interrupts. As such, interrupts _will_ be enabled when you exit the routine, and the numbers you see will be changing as you print them, with 'garbage' results....
Separately, how long is the pulse?. Given your interrupt handler is going to be running for the entire duration of a 'high', and 'low' pulse, will this cause timing problems for the RTCC interrupt?.
Why waste time printing 9 digits for a number that can never be more than five digits?.

Best Wishes
