Hi all, Just a quick question... How can i use/access the Timers/prescalers etc by using " PIC Basic Pro " there doesnt seem to be any timer related commands. I remember reading a similar question, and something to do with using peek/poke, although the picbasic manual says "do NOT use peek/poke"....why is that anyway? Otherwsie i think the other answer was something about assigning the address of the timer/prescaler/settings as variables and use them that way? How exactly would i go about this? Here's my setup .... PICs used : 16F84 & 16F877 Compiler : " PICbasic Pro v2.33 " (upgrading to v2.40 asap) Developer IDE : " CDlite " Programmer : " PICall " Burner : " PIC16Pro " Thanx in advance everyone :-) Marty Winch --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
