Controller Timers

[Guy_E]

Hi guys,

Im programming the VEX controller using MPLAB. I want to use the controller's timers to count seconds or miliseconds. I have looked through the internet and so far haven't found a single article or thread regarding how to use them.

Does anyone know how can I use the timers?

Thanks,
Guy

Guy,

You should be able to find the info you need in the outlined in the Timers White Paper on the IFI site. This paper was written for the FRC controller but is completely valid for the FVC controller (using MPLAB).

Good Luck,

Mike
