Delay in the segment of the program
 

Hi guys,

Please help me...

I have a problem with a creating delay on micro controller. How to create one delay for PIC18F8722? if possible in language C.

how?

Thanks!

You cannot use a standard delay (I.E. one made with a while or for loop) on the RC without asking for trouble ("the red light of death"). Instead, you may want to create a counter, such that every program loop (approx. 26.6ms, though it can be more) increments the counter. When the counter is greater than a certain value, you do whatever the delayed action was.

A more precise way to do this is to set a hardware timer (white paper on the IFI website under legacy documents) to fire every 25ms or so, and increment your counter there.

Hope this helps, and if it's clear as mud just let me know! :D
