external interrupt pin problem when measuring frequency

[sush]

external interrupt

hi
i am trying to make a system including frequency meter. for frequency

measurement method:- measuring time between two consequtive pulses. i'm

feeding the frequency at external interrupt pin. i'm facing a small

problem. when i start the system lcd displays the correct frequency

value. (i've added 5 seconds delay for refreshing the data) but second

time the frequency is refreshed the value comes wrong and after that

everytime absart values are displayed. i've tried everything. i've

tried re-intializing everything but nothing is helping out. here's the

code (the main part which measures freq. and displays it. Please help

me.

Kind regards.

Re: external interrupt

Try the pic 16f877 interrupts

Re: external interrupt

I have not gone through your code yet but
if you use more than page0 for your code (LCD routines)
you may need to change your INT routine to save PCLATH.

an example:

IntVec
	movwf	W_TEMP		 ; std context saving
	swapf	STATUS,W	  ; ....
	movwf	STATUS_TEMP  ; ....
	movf	 PCLATH,W	  ; ....
	movwf   PCLATH_TEMP  ; ....
	clrf	 PCLATH		 ; page0
	clrf	 STATUS		 ; bank0
;
; int code here on page0
;
	movf	 PCLATH_TEMP,W ; std context restore
	movwf	PCLATH 		 ; ....
	swapf	STATUS_TEMP,W ; ....
	movwf	STATUS	 	 ; ....
	swapf	W_TEMP,F	   ; ....
	swapf	W_TEMP,W	   ; ....
	retfie
