' Name        : TMR1CLKX.pbp
' Compiler    : PICBASIC PRO Compiler 2.6
' Assembler   : PM or MPASM
' Target PIC  : 40-pin 16F877 or similar
' Hardware    : LAB-X1 Experimenter Board
' Oscillator  : 4MHz external crystal
' Keywords    : ASSEMBLY INTERRUPTS, LCDOUT, TIMER1
' Description : PICBASIC PRO program that demonstrates the use of
' Timer1 interrupt for a real-time clock. Written for the LAB-X1
' experimenter board with a 16F877.

; Set the high register of Timer1 to cause an interrupt every
; 16384 counts (65536-16384=49152 or $C000). At 4MHz, prescale
; set to 1, this equates to a tick every 16384uS.  This works
; out to about 61 ticks per second, with a slight error.  The
; error could be reduced substantially by setting the TMR1L
; register and playing with different values for the prescaler
; and the ticks per second.

   ' overflow if you don't update within 4 seconds.  This could
   ' be done in the interrupt handler, but it's easier to do
   ' it in PicBasic, and you usually want the interrupt handler
   ' to be as short and fast as possible.
