How to add second Timer ?

[RumiKumi 0]

Hi huys,

I am currently using only TimerA in my code and here is code of use:

 

//choosing clk down below

BCSCTL1 |= XTS;

do
{ 
  IFG1 &= ~OFIFG; 
  for (i = 0xFF; i > 0; i--); 
} while ((IFG1 & OFIFG) == OFIFG); 

BCSCTL1 |= DIVA_1; 
BCSCTL2 |= SELM0 | SELM1; 

// setting-up timerA for 500khz and interruption each 100ms 
TACTL = TASSEL_1 + MC_1 +ID_3; 
CCR0=50000; 
_EINT(); 
for (;
{ 
_BIS_SR(LPM3_bits); 
// service of interrupts here 
}

#pragma vector=TIMERA0_VECTOR 
__interrupt void Timer_A (void){ 
_BIC_SR_IRQ(LPM3_bits); 
// doing things each 100ms
}

 

I need to use also TimerB, so how to add it using same clock or different ?

 

I am asking becouse i dont know what registers to set up to avoid conflict of variables.

 

How to do add other TimerB using same clock as TimerA or different ?

Be careful. Most MSP devices only contain 1 base timer module. Within that 1 timer module there may be several CCM's (Capture/compare modules) each CCM can cause an interrupt when the TAR (timer value) matches the CCR (Capture compare register)

 

If you tell us what IC you are using I can clarify more, but if your device has got a timerB module you should be able to set it up identically to your timerA module just replace the A's with B's
