Want to use TIMER0 as input counter (T0CKI pin 6 on 18F23K20)

[Paul Haug]

I cannot get the asm to accept the names from the PIC data sheet.
Example:
#config T0CS=1 ;one bit in T0CON
or
#config T0CON = 0xA8 ;This would set up timer 0, no prescale, count on positive edge

So how do I setup timer0 as an input counter.

Setup timer0 - see http://gcbasic.sourceforge.net/help/_inittimer0.html is it either OSC or EXT

To set, note you treat registers and bits similar to variables - you were creating a constant using #define.
T0CS=1 ;one bit in T0CON T0CON = 0xA8 ;This would set up timer 0, no prescale, count on positive edge

Ah yes, using #define instead of #config, no more asm error. Will proceed now with with modifying the code for my 'ringtach' ..
Many thanks.

William Roth posted this for timer 1. Any use if change to timer0?
'// Configure timer1 as counter on ext pin
Inittimer1 (EXT, PRE0_1)
On interrupt Timer1Overflow Call CountOverflows

Thanks all, I have counter 0 working now

Summary.... use #define to define a constant(s) and treat Registers and Register Bits in a similar was you would use a byte or bit variable.
