Custom Interrupts - PICmicro
Here are a few examples for such interrupts using PICmicro chips. To create interrupts that are not shown below you will have to refer to the device datasheet. Once the code has been placed into the custom interrupt properties dialog, the interrupt can be enabled and disabled like any of the standard Flowcode Interrupts.
USART receive - This can be nicely integrated with the Flowcode RS232 component.
Comparator - Example of the use of a function not supported by Flowcode.
Timer1 rollover - An example of the use of another unsupported, but potentially useful, function.

USART receive
The Flowcode RS232 component can be used to set the Baud rate and configure the mode of operation, and the ReceiveRS232Char function can be used in the handler macro to read the data (clearing the interrupt).
Enable code:
intcon.PEIE = 1; // Enable peripheral interrupts
intcon.GIE = 1; // Enable global interrupts
pie1.RCIE = 1; // Enable USART receive interrupts
Disable code:
pie1.RCIE = 0; // Disable USART receive interrupts
Handler code:
if (pir1 & (1 << RCIF))
{
FCM_%n(); // call selected macro
clear_bit(pir1, RCIF); // clear interrupt
}

Analogue comparator
Enable code:
intcon.PEIE = 1; // Enable peripheral interrupts
intcon.GIE = 1; // Enable global interrupts
pie1.CCP1IE = 1; // Enable Capture Compare interrupts
Disable code:
pie1.CCP1IE = 0; // Disable Capture Compare Interrupts
Handler code:
if (pir1 & (1 << CCP1IF))
{
FCM_%n();
clear_bit(pir1, CCP1IF);
}
The state of the comparator input can be read into a Flowcode variable 'compstate' with the following C code line:
FCV_COMPSTATE = CCPR1L | ( CCPR1H << 8 );
** compstate must be declared as an integer variable **

Timer1 rollover
Enable code:
t1con = 0x79; // Start timer with Internal clock source, prescaler = 1:8
intcon.PEIE = 1; // Enable peripheral interrupts
intcon.GIE = 1; // Enable global interrupts
pie1.TMR1IE = 1; // Enable Capture Compare interrupts
Disable code:
pie1.TMR1IE = 0; // Disable Capture Compare interrupts
Handler code:
if (pir1 & (1 << TMR1IF))
{
FCM_%n();
clear_bit(pir1, TMR1IF);
}
The captured 16-bit count value can be read into a Flowcode variable 'captval' with the following C code line:
FCV_CAPTVAL = TMR1L | ( TMR1H << 8 );
** captval must be declared as an integer variable **
