#140735 - You're absolutely right, Erik ... We need input.
Responding to: ???'s previous message
There hasn't been nearly enough detail provided. Without that, nobody can be expected to offer a reasonable solution to this or any other problem.

However ... there are PLENTY of people "out there" who have no clue as to how one has to go about creating a clock of a specific rate. Few of the newer users even have any idea about what assembly language is. We've all choked on the remarks such as, "It's just like programming the PC ... it is, after all, 'C'." Some of these folks don't realize that, if you use 10 instruction cycles to generate a pulse with a 10 instruction cycle period, you have no time at all left over to do anything. Only a few have actually tried to see how fast a clock they can generate by fiddling a port bit. I suspect that some of the things we've seen recently are the product of school assignments that are completely absurd because the instructor is nearly as ignorant as the student.

   BARELY possible ...            01/01/70 00:00      
      Ten milli hertz - that's a doddle!            01/01/70 00:00      
         SynMOS            01/01/70 00:00      
            what's MIP?            01/01/70 00:00      
            What, exactly, do you mean?            01/01/70 00:00      
      if you don't mind WHICH pin it is...            01/01/70 00:00      
         I think he does            01/01/70 00:00      
            well if that data does not need to change...            01/01/70 00:00      
               how are you going to get the data to "any pin"            01/01/70 00:00      
                  one instruction cycle            01/01/70 00:00      
                  DS89C4x0 might manage it            01/01/70 00:00      
                     let's have a 'yellow light'            01/01/70 00:00      
   graphical display            01/01/70 00:00      
      so you do NOT need just a clock            01/01/70 00:00      
         10MHz clock from 8051            01/01/70 00:00      
            Consider what you\'re doing.            01/01/70 00:00      
               SiLabs F120            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Are you certain that applies?            01/01/70 00:00      
                     I specifically did not            01/01/70 00:00      
                        that's true ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                           then why7 the ^&%$&^(* are we discussing that?            01/01/70 00:00      
                              You're absolutely right, Erik ... We need input.            01/01/70 00:00      
               nonsense?            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Little nonsense is better            01/01/70 00:00      
                     not 'a little' but 'utter' nonsense            01/01/70 00:00      
                     interrupt latency            01/01/70 00:00      
                        Maarten, you are correct            01/01/70 00:00
