PIC Microcontrollers Timer and Watchdog Timer

Description

Welcome to this course.

This course will teach you how to deal with PIC Microcontroller Timers and Watchdog Timer Programming using Register Manipulation to control Time in your Projects instead of the newbie delay function.

We often use the famous delay function when we need to add a delay in our application, but do you really know what the calling the delay function does to your app in the background?

Most seasoned programmers avoid using the delay function for a number of reasons that we will go over in this course, we will also describe in a methodical manner how to read the Microchip PIC microcontroller datasheet to obtain the clock information that we want.

Watchdog timers are an incredibly helpful tool to implement in your real-time sensitive apps. You probably heard about its existence, but do you know why it's well worth implementing it into your PIC Microcontroller projects?

The article will discuss the functions and uses of the timer and watchdog timer.

Followers of this course will learn about these features and their specific purposes in designing a project. The article will also provide guidance on how to use them.
PIC Microcontrollers Timer and Watchdog Timer course is a series of tutorials that discuss the basics of timers, as well as how to use them in applications. It also includes information about the types of timers available on the PIC Microcontroller. In this course, you will learn how to configure timer functions on a PIC Microcontroller to achieve the desired functionality.

Watchdog Timer and Timer.

The watchdog timer is used to help the microcontroller stay alive by making sure that it doesn’t run out of power. It can also be used to help the microcontroller reset in case of low power conditions.
