Problem with PIC24E 32-bit timer |

Hi, I'm beginner to program PIC with CCS PCD compiler.
I'm trying to set a 32-bit timer, but the interrupt is not intercepted.
Here my code:
Code: |
#define CSDB_TIMER2_3_THR 0x01C9C3
#int_timer3 //Level = 4
void int_timer23_isr()
{
int32 val;
val = get_timer23();
// TODO
#ifdef PRINT
printf("int_timer23 intercepted\n");
#endif
}
void main()
{
// setups TIMER 2-3 for CSDB msg
setup_timer2(TMR_DIV_BY_256| TMR_32_BIT);
set_timer23(CSDB_TIMER2_3_THR); // sets timer thresold
//clear_interrupt(INT_TIMER3);
enable_interrupts(INT_TIMER3);
}
|
Can someone tell me where is the error? |

Code: |
enable_interrupts(INTR_GLOBAL);
|
always needed.
something to stop the code running off the end:
Code: |
do {
} while(TRUE);
|
Otherwise chip will go to sleep and the timer stop.
Best Wishes |

Thanks,
I added while loop in my code but interrupt is not intercepted yet.
Code: |
#define CSDB_TIMER2_3_THR 0x01C9C3
#int_timer3 //Level = 4
void int_timer23_isr()
{
int32 val;
val = get_timer23();
// TODO
#ifdef PRINT
printf("int_timer23 intercepted\n");
#endif
}
void main ()
{
while(TRUE)
{
setup_timer2(TMR_DIV_BY_256| TMR_32_BIT);
set_timer23(CSDB_TIMER2_3_THR);
//clear_interrupt(INT_TIMER3);
enable_interrupts(INTR_GLOBAL);
enable_interrupts(INT_TIMER3);
}
}

1) What's your clock frequency?
And
2) How long are you waiting for an interrupt to occur?

First step...cut code for the 'blinking LED' program and confirm the PIC is running!
2nd step...post a COMPLETE small program with the problem. Nobody knows which PIC you're using. Also post which version of the compiler, as there may be a 'bug' in your version.

Come on guys, the problem is that he didn't follow Ttelmah's instructions.
Ttelmah said to put a while at the end, not to put everything in a loop.
His timer is getting reloaded every few micro-seconds. It will never work.
Example of how to do it:
Code: |
void main()
{
// Put your timer setup code, and your interrupt
// enable code here. Don't put a while() loop here.
while(1); // Put this line here. Prevent PIC from going to sleep.
} |

Thanks,
Now, my timer works! |
