Use timer interrupt (capture) to measure an accelerometer

[Tompzone]

Hi i am trying to measure a Memsic 2125 accelerometer, (measuring the pulse width) and i am using a Adapt9s12e128 board with a MC9S12E128, i am trying to use this code, but it seems that the isr is not working or that it's not doing anything (the accelerometer has 2 channels, but they are the same just differ on the axis, so if one works it's easy to make the other0

this is the code i am using, i hope you can help me find the error (the oscillator freq is 24 MHz via PLL)

         ldd TIM1_TCNT  ;borr band 

This doesn't clear capture flag in TFFCA=1 mode. Please read TFFCA description. You need to clear capture flags twice in your ISR. Instead of reading TCNT you should read your capture TCx register.

You shouldn't sei and cli in ISR, since MCU does it automatically on entry and on exit from ISR.

well i modified the code as you suggested and it still doesnt work, nothing is being displayed on the led's connected to PTAD, i changed the code to this

medicionx:
            ldd TIM1_TC4  ;borr band
            bset TIM1_TFLG1,mTIM1_TFLG1_C4F
            std trans
            movb #2,TIM1_TCTL3; config timer trans baja
            brclr TIM1_TFLG1,mTIM1_TFLG1_C4F,*
            ldd TIM1_TC4
            bset TIM1_TFLG1,mTIM1_TFLG1_C4F
            std per
            subd trans ;long
            std posx ;tiempo
            neg posx
            movb #1,TIM1_TCTL3
            rti

i also cleared the falg by writing one to the corresponding bit

I don't know why, maybe because you don't initialize stack pointer, maybe there are other reasons. But

            bset TIM1_TFLG1,mTIM1_TFLG1_C4F

1) All writes to TFLG1 are ignored in TFFCA=1 mode.

2) In TFFCA=0 mode above line will clear ALL TFLG1 flags. To clear just C4F you need to either

   movb #mTIM1_TFLG1_C4F, TIM_TFLG1

or

   bclr TIM1_TFLG1, #~mTIM1_TFLG1_C4F

well i got it working, i had to change to the timer0, i dont know why timer1 never worked (i had set up the tim0 int vector first but changing it to tim1 didn't work either) but now it does display the value on the led's, but they are always changing even if the accelerometer us still, so am i making any mistakes on the operations? or is it something else
