Hi,
I wrote this code for measuring period of an input squarewave with a PIC24F. First I implemented an interrupt routine but then I realize that I would be better off by polling, as the operation would be executed only once for one cycle. I am measuring from rising edge to rising edge. My clock frequency would be 16Mhz with a crystal of 32Mhz (fosc/2). My input period would vary from 2µs to 200µs.
I have 32cycles available. With this polling, I am using 14 clock cycle and I what to know I can lower them more as I will be doing an ADC conversion (conversion only - no sampling - requires 12 clock cycles) and some 4 or 5 simple tasks like mov etc... my code is below:
