Yesterday, 14:56betwixt replied to a thread [SOLVED] 16F877A : TMR1L/H, can not load values inside with sprintl in MicrocontrollersI don't use MicroC but I suspect your problem is to do with the way you load 'p1' with values in the while() loop but in the ISR you use 'p1' and...4 replies | 187 view(s)
