Timer 0 with external clock

[Tormsy]

Hello everyone, I'm new to PIC programming, and I'm trying to build a robotic arm currently. The problem I'm running into is that I need to make my robotic arm to repeat movements it is trained to do, and for that I need to have a real time clock. I'm trying to use set timer and get timer functions on Timer0 at a 10Hz frequency, so I need a external clock. So my question is, where do I need to connect the clock? And how do I setup the timer in code? The PIC I'm using is PIC16F877A.

Thanks

Download the CCS manual and look in the section on setup_timer_0().

Look at the code example at the end of that section. It shows how to
setup an external clock.

Also look in the section on Timer0 (also called RTCC) in the 16F877A.h
file. You will see the constant value that you need to use for an external
clock. Here's the file location:
