PIC16F877 timer1 code and Proteus simulation

This PIC16F877 microcontroller tutorial answers the question,
” How to use timer1 of PIC16F877 and how to handle its interrupts? ”

PIC16F877 timer1

Using PIC16 simulator (Proteus) you can verify this PIC timer1 code and change it according to your needs. This code is written in C language using MPLAB with HI-TECH C compiler. You can download this code from the ‘Downloads‘ section at the bottom of this page.

It is assumed that you know how to blink an LED with PIC16F877 microcontroller. If you don’t then please read this page first, before proceeding with this article.

The following diagram (made in Proteus) shows the PIC microcontroller circuit diagram.

In this circuit, PIC16F877 is running on external crystal of 20MHz value. RB0 pin is toggled every time timer1 expires and executes it’s ISR[1] code. In the above figure, it is clear that after approximately every 13msec, RB0 pin is toggled i-e timer1 expires. You can easily change this value in the code.
