How to setup timer 0 for interrupt ever 2.8 mS at crystal 4 MHz?


Thanks

Try dis code below....

Code:


#include <18F452.H>

#fuses HS,NOPROTECT,NOWDT,NOLVP,PUT
#use delay(clock=4000000)


#int_timer0
void timer0_isr()
{
   < add your routine here... >

   set_timer0(62736);
   clear_interrupt(int_timer0);   
}


void init_mcu()
{
   // 4M/(4*1*65536) = 65.536mSec.
   setup_timer_0(RTCC_INTERNAL | RTCC_DIV_1);

   set_timer0(62736);
   clear_interrupt(int_timer0);
   enable_interrupts(int_timer0);
   
   enable_interrupts(global);
}


void main()
{
   init_mcu();
   // < add your routine here... >

   while (TRUE);
}



Hope this give you a startup....

You don't say what chip...
This matters, since the 16family, only have an 8bit timer0. You also need to give an idea of the accuracy needed. The problem is that setting the counter 'forward', as suggested in the code posted, has a large error, because the counter wll have allready incremented by perhaps 50 instruction times, by the time the interrupt handler is reached.
If accuracy really is important, it'd be better to use a slightly different clock frequency, or if your chip supports it, one of the CTC channels, and it's associated timer.
A count at 2.048mSec, is easy with the 8bit timer module, using a prescaler of 8.
Switching to using a prescaler of 16, and then in the interrupt, setting the counter 'forward', by 81, should be close.
So, specify the 'criteria' (accuracy needed, and the chip involved), and some better solutions may be available.

Best Wishes
