• Charlene Ennis asks: " Sorry, toie flag does NOT toggle?? "
• Charlene Ennis asks:

  Hi I am having trouble geting the interrupts working for the PIC16f628. It seems to go to the interrupt once only. i tried checking the toie flag, as it should toggle between 1 and 0, but it does. Any ideas anyone??? Thanks, Charlene

Says:

Charlene,
From page 101 of the datasheet (rev DS40300C):
"When an interrupt is responded to, the GIE is cleared to disable any further interrupt". Therefore, when you have finished servicing your interrupt, you must set the GIE bit again. This may be the reason you only see the interrupt serviced once.

Comments:

  You also must clear the RB0 interrupt flag (or whatever interrupt you are using) in software. The GIE bit is automatically set with the retfie instruction. The RB0 flag is bit one of the INTCON register.
