[En-Nut-Discussion] Timers in Eth board 1.3H

[Dusan Ferbas]

Hi Prasad,

I used a prepared page title to store a code snippet to the NutWiki:
  http://www.ethernut.de/nutwiki/Timer_and_Counter_Interrupts.
This example shows how to setup timer1 for ms periods.

How exact microsecond period you need ?
If not too exact, use following calculations:
number_of_required_counts = 1/(period_ms/1000000)
freq_divisor = 14745600/number_of_required_counts
timer_divisor = 14745600/freq_divisor (rounded value if integer 
arithmetics was used)


#define TIMER1_DIVISOR_20us             14745600/295    //NUT_CPU_FREQ/...
#define TIMER1_DIVISOR_50us             14745600/737

Note: For details look for TCCR1B register description (page 134 - 
135 in ATmega128 data sheet).==========================
