Does anybody have a snippet of code for doing input capture ?

I want to measure an input positive going signal about 46uS long.

In all the time I used the HC08s etc i never had to do input capture before!

Hi, happy to pass on my ignorance.

First setup the timer and timer channel for icap on the prefered edge.

Then setup the interupt routine for that channel to deal with the interupt.

Below is a simple app that just reads the time of a + edge on the timer channel pin.

Processing that info is obviously app specific so whether it's processed in the main loop or in the Irupt sub itself will depend on that app.

Code:
