MikroElektronika has a free Timer Calculator that you can use to get the
code to set up your timer. I don't understand why anyone would want to use =
a
PWM when the timer is so easy and quite accurate. Check this out:
http://www.libstock.com/projects/view/398/timer-calculator

I use it all the time. For a PIC16 Timer1 you can get 100ms from this code:

//Timer1
//Prescaler 1:8; TMR1 Preload =3D 3036; Actual Interrupt Time : 100 ms
=20
//Place/Copy this part in declaration section
void InitTimer1(){
  T1CON	 =3D 0x31;
  TMR1IF_bit	 =3D 0;
  TMR1H	 =3D 0x0B;
  TMR1L	 =3D 0xDC;
  TMR1IE_bit	 =3D 1;
  INTCON	 =3D 0xC0;
}
=20
void Interrupt(){
  if (TMR1IF_bit){=20
    TMR1IF_bit =3D 0;
    TMR1H	 =3D 0x0B;
    TMR1L	 =3D 0xDC;
    //Enter your code here
  }
}=20

Enable the interrupt. Turn on your pin. Count 10 interrupts. Turn off pin.
Turn off and reset timer. Start over when necessary.

You may need to make minor adjustments (TMR1L) for the time to actually tur=
n
the pin on and off.
