A question about Programming?
«

July 06, 2011, 09:18:59 AM »
I would like to ask some questions on programming to help me get started on a project i'm working on.
I have a 8051 microcontroller board, and a 7 SEG display board. I am supposed to come up with a Counter program and a timer program to get a display on the 7 seg
What is a counter program and how does it work? Thats my question. Any help would be appreciated.

A counter is a program that does just that- counts. Every tick (or x number of ticks), it increments the count by one. When it reaches the end of where it's supposed to count (I suppose whatever the max number of the 7 segment display is), it resets the whole thing back to 0.
