Greetings all,
This is my first post to this forum but I will try to stay within guidelines for posting. Basically, I am using the PIC12F683 to read the RPM signal from a CPU fan. Have any of you done this before? I am not very experienced with programming PICS but have done this same application using another chip. Also, I am writing the code with a C compiler in MPLABX.
Datasheet for this PIC- http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/e...oc/41211d_.pdf
Below is the code I have completed so far. I 'think' that I should be getting the value of the time so I solved for the RPM of the fan. The only problem now is how could I output it in voltage? Do I need an A/D to do this? (tried in code already) If so any hints on how the code should be written? Also, feel free to edit my code if you feel generous. I enabled the global interrupt and have set everything up to receive a value from the CPU fan. Am I anywhere near being able to read the RPM? I have followed the datasheet and tried my best. I need to complete this code so I can use it for another similar application.
