Use a timer, and do all the low level scanning in the timer interupt.
Time
to learn assembler !

Hi all!
Ive build a matrix of 8x8 leds.
The columns are connected to a shiftregister and the rows connected to a
3-8
demuxer.
To get a stable picture i had to switch the 8 rows fast enough while
shifting the data to the register.
Now my question is, how do i go to the next picture, or define a time of
n
seconds between the pictures.
I tried to do this with counting X up to a defined value and then goto
next
character. But this method is very bad and the display time varies
depending
on how long the code is
Does anybody know a better method of doing this? Maybe demux in the
background Or use timers???
Below is some code (for better understanding)
Thanks for help!

Portd = &H0

clock = your crystal freq

devisor = the number of clocks before a count. (1,8,64,256,1024)
1/ clock = time per clock cycle
time per clock cycle / devisor = time per tick.
time of interrupt interval wanted
interrupt

time per tick = timer count for

example:
1/ 16000000 = 6.25E-08
(.0625mS)
6.25E-8 / 64 = 9.76563E-10 ( .000000976563mS)
50ms / 9.76563E-10 = 51200 counts = 50mS
load that in the compare

Hi!
Tried to use a timer for the multiplexing, but it doesnt work as
expected. I
dont know how to calculate the time the timer had to interrupt. Then i
dont
know how to tell the micro that the next data is for the first row and
so
on...
Maybe anybody could give me an example.
And i don't want to learn asm :-) Must be a way to do it with plain
bascom.
Cheers,
Jan
