AVR-Chat

I used the following code for GCC on a 16-MHz Mega-8. It seems to work
fine for me. I also used the same code on an 8-MHz Mega-16, but setting
TCNT0 to 131 (125000 counts/sec and 256 - 125 = 131)

gTickCount gets incremented once every millisecond.

volatile uns16 gTickCount = 0;

/***********************************************************************
****/
/**
*  Timer 0 interrupt handler
*/

SIGNAL(SIG_OVERFLOW0)        /* signal handler for tcnt0 overflow
interrupt */
{
    gTickCount++;

    // We want our timer tick to interrupt once a millisecond.
    // If we use 16 MHz/64 then we get 250000 counts/second. So setting
    // things up to overflow after 250 will give us 1000
overflows/second
    //
    // 256 - 250 = 6

    TCNT0 = 6;

} // Timer 0 Overflow

/***********************************************************************
****/
/**
*  InitTimer
*/

void InitTimer( void )
{
    TCCR0 = ( 0 << CS02 ) | ( 1 << CS01 ) | ( 1 << CS00 ); // Divide by
64
    TCNT0 = 0;

    // Enable Timer 0 interrupt

    timer_enable_int( BV( TOIE0 ));

    sei();

} // InitTimer
