[PIC] Interrupt based pulse counting for PIC 32

[abhijith94]

hi,
i am trying to write a pulse counter using PIC32, and my code is not working can someone please help me on this.

First step, define "my code is not working".

Hi,

I assume the PIC has a hardware counter, if so: why don't you use it?

I am able to build it but it's going to rest: jal_startup when I execute it. No I can't use hardware counter as I am trying to develop a program that counts the external pulses

Re: interrupt based pulse counting for PIC 32

Could you clarify that enigma ?

I am able to build it but it's going to rest: jal_startup when I execute it.

By the way: What is working so far ?
What is not working as expected ?

Please confirm: "you kow that a hardware counter can be used, but you don´t want to use it".

What is the idea behind this?
What benefit do you see in using a software counter instead of a hardware counter?
