Dear All,

Am working on 8051 Timer Interrupt Programming.

Specs:

Timer 0 Mode 1.
Need to blink an Led for 30 seconds.
Xtal Freq: 11.0592Mhz.

I've pasted the code below. Could you please identify the errors in it. If so could you give me the complete code for it. It'l be a great help. Thanks.

#include<reg51.h>
sbit led = P2^0;        //LED connected to D0 of port 1
 
void timer(void) interrupt 1        //interrupt no. 1 for Timer 0
{
int x;
for (x=0; x<600 ; x++)
{
led=~led;       //toggle LED on interrupt
TR0 = 0;
}
}
main()
{
TMOD = 0x01;        // mode1 of Timer0
TH0 = 0x4C;     // initial values loaded to timer
TL0 = 0x00;
IE = 0x82;      // enable interrupt
TR0 = 1;        //start timer
while(1);       // do nothing  
}

It looks like you did not call the timer function in the main function.
 

tell us what are problems you are facing while dumping it on hardware. Does the leds are lit continuoulsy i.e either on/off (with no toggle)?
first of all you have not cleared the timer flag & hence the interrupt will not terminate.
another do not use
Code:
while(1);
it will again start initializing from starting & hence the timer flag will never be set.
So use something like this:
Code:
while(1)
{
//do some work here
//may be blinking leds on some other ports .
}

It looks like you did not call the timer function in the main function.

but, that is not timer function to blink leds it's the ISR & the controller will jump only when interrupt occurs & hence he need not to call that in the main function.
