Hi, can you guide me on use of timers of pic? actually what i have to do is, for 8sec time, i have to average values from a sensor. how do i increment count every sec? will the following method work instead of timers?

for(count=0;count<= 8;count++)
{
   do(something);
   delay_ms(1000);
}

how to disable watchdog timer in pic18f4550? My prog unexpectedly resets on its own at times should i disable this? will it help?

Hi Sir, I am new to the world of microcontrollers. I am trying to use the pulse width modulation unit of PIC 16f877a. As I know, the timer2 module is used generally with the oscillator clock devided by 4. Therefore, in the formula of PWM period there is the term ‘4’ .But why there is no ‘4’ in the PWM duty cycle calculation formula?
