How do you design your projects?

I used to start writing my code before I had a clear plan. That was always a disaster.

Now before writing any code I start with a clean piece of paper and s ...

You could time it exactly in a test program.

// This code is not complete, just an example algorithm of sorts.

#use delay(clock=8000000)

int16 EventTime;

setup_timer_1 ( ...

Thanks. A few more questions...

Similarly, even when the global is disabled, the timer1 and timer0 remain enabled.

So what does enable_interrupts(GLOBAL) actually do then?

can still ...

I never did like Hyperterminal. I use a free program called TeraTermPro v2.3. It works like champ.

I'm trying to understand how interrupts work. Is there a good tutorial somewhere?

Question #1
To turn on the INT_TIMER1 is it better to do this:

enable_interrupts(GLOBAL);
enable_i ...

I think I figured it out.

I use Microchip MPLAB, Microchip ICD2 and PCM 3.245.

When I made and ran the test program I was not using any breakpoints. When I ran the "real" program ...

I built a test program per PCMP's suggestion and the test program works fine.

However, my "real" program still does not write to the EEPROM!!! There must be something else somewhere in ...

I'm using CCS compiler version 3.245.

I changed it to use the make8 and make16 functions, see below.

Everything works except that it does not actually write to the EEPROM, I'm sure of that. ...

If you want to split and combine bytes into a word, it can be done much
more easily and error-free if you use the make8() and make16()
functions. These are in the CCS manual.

Thats a good idea ...

Thanks PCMP, I knew about having to reload the EEPROM data.

After tinkering with this a bit more I found that the issue is with these two lines:

//Put the Value back into Upper and Lower
Tem ...

I'm using PIC16F876A.

I need to read a two byte 16 bit number out of internal EEPROM, increment it and write it back to EEPROM. The code below works ok for reading it out and incrementing it. It ...

There were some bug fixes between 3.245 and 3.249. That version is stable and relatively bug free.

I think I can stick with v3 for now. Which version is relatively bug free, V2.245 or V3.249?

I have several 16F84, 16F876A and 16F877A projects running with code compiled using PCM v3.245. They have all been running fine for over a year now in a production environment.

I need to make so ...

Works perfect. Thanks PCM programmer.

Using Compiler PCM 3.242, PIC 16F877.

I have a string of variable length that is received from another device via serial port in the following format (without quotes)
