| timer output on ports problem |

I want to get the value 16 bit timer/counter1 (as counter) on port b and c.
I set the timer1 as follows. Now how can i get the values of timer on ports?
| Code: |
void main()
{
TMR = 0X26;
SETUP_TIMER_1(RTCC_EXT_H_TO_L);
SET_TIMER1(TMR);
while(1)
{
;/// here how can i split 8 bits of 16 bit timer and get data on ports?
}
} |

simply put, read the manuals !
A quick read of the datasheet for your PIC will show the 16bit timer to be stored in 2 sucessive registers( memory locations).
Now, read the CCS manual ( press F11 while in a project), search for timer, and see how to access those registers.
There's probably an example or two as CCS does provide a LOT of fine examples covering most of the PICs operations....
These days you should use the 'get env' function to be sure the compiler gets the correct registers though. Again, consult the CCS manual for proper use.
BTW: To acquire the data and display should take 8 lines of code.
Also, be careful about the 'order' though other wise when you read the LEDs on the ports they won't look correct !!
The more you read the better the programmer you will be.

This is wrong. The value in bold is not a correct parameter for the
setup_timer_1() function. Look in the .H file for your PIC in the
SETUP_TIMER_1 section, to see the list of correct parameters.

Use the get_timer1() function to read the 16-bit Timer1 value into an
int16 variable.

Use the make8() function to get the high or low byte from the 16-bit
variable.

Use the output_b() and output_c() functions.

thanks sir. you were right. my timer1 setting was not correct.
i did it. |

i wrote this program
| Code: |
//this software runs the timer1 as counter and put the 16 bit value
// to portb and portd
#include <18F458.h>
#USE DELAY (crystal=4MHz)
UNSIGNED INT TMR;
unsigned int16 timer1_val,tmr1;
void main()
{
TMR1 = 0X12f4; // timer1 starts from this value
SETUP_TIMER_1(T1_EXTERNAL); // set timer1 as external pulse counter
SET_TIMER1(TMR1); // put "12f4" value in timer1 to start from
WHILE(1)
{
timer1_val=GET_TIMER1(); //put the value ofmtimer 1 in "timer_val"
tmr=make8(timer1_val,0); // split 8 bit value (lsb) and mov it to "tmr"
output_b(tmr); // feed the value to portb
tmr=make8(timer1_val,1); // split 8 bit value (msb) and mov it to "tmr"
output_d(tmr);// feed the value to portd
}
}
