| uncontrollable timer interrupt frequency |
 Posted: Wed May 09, 2012 7:29 am |

Greetings members,
It's my first, so be gentle 
The following code generates a clock interrupt.
The problem is that the it's frequency is uncontrollable...
To my understanding beyond the setup, what control the frequency is the value set by: set_timer1() in the ISR.
But what ever value I set, the IRQ frequency does not change. Although the value that get_timer1() returns is changing accordingly(!).
Thank you in advance,
Liv.

#include <18F6527.h>
#fuses HS, PUT, NOLVP, MCLR, NOPROTECT
#FUSES WDT8192 //Watch Dog Timer uses 1:128 Postscale
#FUSES BROWNOUT //Reset when brownout detected
#FUSES BORV27 //Brownout reset at 2.5V //was BORV25
#FUSES NOCPD //No EE protection
#FUSES STVREN //Stack full/underflow will cause reset
#FUSES NOWRT //Program memory not write protected
#FUSES NOWRTD //Data EEPROM not write protected
#FUSES NOIESO //Internal External Switch Over mode enabled
#FUSES NOFCMEN //Fail-safe clock monitor enabled
#FUSES NOWRTC //configuration not registers write protected
#FUSES NOWRTB //Boot block not write protected
#FUSES NOEBTRB //Boot block not protected from table reads
#FUSES NOLPT1OSC //Timer1 configured for low-power operation
#use delay(clock=22118400)
unsigned int16 lStatus = 0x0000;
#INT_TIMER1
void clock_isr()
{
set_timer1(0x2800); // 10 mS
lStatus = get_timer1();
}
void main()
{
setup_timer_1(T1_INTERNAL);
set_timer1(0);
enable_interrupts(INT_TIMER1);
enable_interrupts(GLOBAL);
while(true)
{
//dummy operation
}

| How are you determining that the IRQ frequency isn't changing? How is that measured? |

| From the ISR I toggle a led, and measure it’s contact voltage with an oscilloscope. |

Have you verified that your oscillator is running at the values you have set? I.E. have you run:
| Code: |
void main(){
while(TRUE){
delay_us(500);
output_toggle(DEBUG_PIN);
}
}
|
And what did the frequency measure at?
Also, what frequency do you measure for the ISR frequency?
If you change
set_timer1(0x2800);
to
set_timer1(0xEA66);
are there any changes in that value? |

Mystery solved! location, location, location...
The clock definition was in the module that includes the main and initialization functions. The ISR is in different module. I copied the clock definition to just before the ISR and miracle of miracles, the ISR frequency is controllable! (Changing the set_timer1() value change the frequency).
Thanks guys, I learned something new. |

Uhhhmmm.... you mean the code you posted here is not the same as you were testing with????  |

The code is more them 18000 lines in 13 files…
The posted code is a collection of two isolated parts that I considered relevant.
Sorry for any confusion… and I hope that others can benefit too from this post. |

Maybe next time you follow CCS forum guide, i.e. post complete compilable code so we can test to help sort out your problem.

And that's precisely what I attempted to do.
Appreciate the assistance, as well, as the comments. |
