Constantly doing different setups for Timers

[luisjoserod]

Hello, i know that changing FUSES it's a totally BAD idea..

But i wonder if anything could go wrong if i do different setups
for timer on different situations, it could short the Life-Time of the PIC?

Thanks in advance.

The flash memory endurance on the 16F876A is a minimum of 10K writes.
So, if you changed the timer setup 10 times, doing experiments, you
would only use up 10 of the 10000 "lives" of the flash memory.

But, I'm puzzled, since there is no fuse on this chip affecting the timers...
So how does changing timer setups involve the fuses?.

[luisjoserod]

No, i'm not saying the fuses affects the timers.
I remember you recommended other user
not to mess with fuses because of what PCM Programmer says.

i was wondering if something analogue
happens when you use setup_timer on the main
it's ok to different setup for different conditions of inputs?

Running code has no 'life' involved at all. You could change timer settings 10000 times a minute for ten years without any potential problems.

Thanks you
