• basman.georgespam at spamgmail.com asks:

  I have a problem with using CCP pins for measuring time difference between two pulls signals where by timer1 will bee running free and CCP1capture is red throw CCPR1H-CCPR1L and CCP2 throw CCPR2H-CCPR2L complementing CCPR1H-CCPR1L and adding it to CCPR2H-CCPR2L after converting to ASCII and display on LCD the time measurement constantly flatcars with what looks like a random number and back to accurate measurement
  Welcome any suggestions
  Thanks Boz
