Exploring PIC Microcontrollers - 04 - 16-Bit Timer Basics

[@jordanchacko3085]

thanks so much! I was completley lost in class when they covered timers and now i get it completely!

[@jayman6555]

This is really great and helpful...Keep up the great work, someone out there is so thankful for your efforts to teach and share ur knowledge

[@GeorgeLecakes]

Glad it helped.

Good job explaining PIC24 timers configuration. So baremetal, excellent for understanding. Keep it up.

My 3D printer board shorted out, my AC motor died, and my power supply is fried all forcing me to get back into hardware to fix. Maybe I'll jump back into this after.

Thank you for making these videos. I am disappointed in myself that i never found these videos earlier . I learned more from these few videos you made than months of browsing Pic tut on microships webside and datasheets trying to understand all those functions and try to figure out if i need this or that function for a project. You explain why or when to use for example :a timer ,wich timer,wich settings ,what these settings do and where to look for in datasheet and how to set the bits. Shame there is not alot of interest in these tutorials i would loved it if this was continued .

[@GeorgeLecakes]

Glad you enjoyed the videos. It is a series I'd like to go back to because I enjoyed learning about hardware. However, as of right now I'm a bit too busy with things. That, and I broke my pic dev board! I already replaced it once, so my desire to learn more will have to be pretty high to buy a 3rd.

@@GeorgeLecakes I understand it they aren't cheap , but there is alot to "Explore" no pun intended :) like ADC and peripherals ,output compare ,.... even when you begin to kinda understand how some of these work then is there still the challange to let it all play nicely together. Yes the there are alot of program examples on the Microchip website but there is no explenation on how they come to the numbers in the code or in what sequense you write your code and mostly well outdated. You explain this very well for us noobs ,it is like some here say you are the only one doing and explain it like this. The YT videos from Microchip are more product 5 a10 minute advertisement than a tutorial . But hey i am glad i found your channel and there is more than pic programming so still a win for me.

Hey George, Thank you very much for your work, I finished all the videos and looking forward to seeing more, especially about sleep and idle modes with interrupts, reading from multiple inputs, ADC, ..etc. I am using the Explorer 16, I followed the instruction in the videos, however, the LEDs don't toggle, seem like the interrupt is never called, also when I tried to use the comparison in a while loop between TMR1 and IPerS it shows an error (I can't use defined values, unless I assign it first to a known type like int). another thing, is that I can't use the uint16_t. I don't know if these things are related to explain why the LEDs are not toggling using LATA=~LATA. I am using the MPLAB X IDE v4.01 with Explorer 16, dsPIC33FJ256GP710A. Thanks again!

great stuff

Good job. I think you are the only one doing something like this. Thank you.
