Re: Code violation using Hall effect sensor

Thank you all so much, I'll try this out tomorrow and see if that helps. I really think I was doing too much during that interrupt handler. The part of interrupts I don't understand is the setup, I don't see any clear documentation on that. One of our software engineers explained how they work and everything, he specializes in integrated control systems and deals with PIC processors alot, it was just the syntax of setting one up that seems to get me. If perhaps someone could show the setup code, then expain what each line of it does , and how that changes for each interrupt, thats I think what I'm looking for. I mean, I can copy and paste code just fine, but I really want to learn it, not just smile and not know whats going on.

But I will try the digital thing, the thing is, I need both an accurate timer, and the counter, thats not too tolling on the processor is it? And what happens if an interrupt is raised while you're in an interrupt handler? I figure its possible, do I miss that tooth, or does it interrupt the interrupt handler? Ok, thats all for now.
