I am currently using 89C52 to write a program... if i want to display RTC on the LCD, should i use a loop? for example below: while(1) { displayRTC(); //routine to display RTC on LCD } Or should i use an interrupt??? if i would to use an interrupt... can i use timer 2 of 89C52??? i haf written a routine as follow: void setTimer2(void) { TR2=0; hour=0; minute=0; second=0; count20ms=0; T2CON=0; RCAP2H=(-40000) >> 8; RCAP2L=(-40000) & 0x0ff; TH2=RCAP2H; TL2=RCAP2L; TF2=0; TR2 = 1; ET2=1; EA=1; } void timer2ISR( void ) interrupt 5 using 1 { TF2 = 0; // --- use count20ms to check if 1 second has passed --- count20ms = count20ms + 1; if (count20ms == 50) { count20ms = 0; displayRTC(); } } is the above routine correct????
