Stop watch

userjyjy

This is the code that I have for a stop watch and this is what I'm trying to accomplish

A “Start/Stop”button is pressed once, the chronograph will start counting in seconds from 00 to 59, then goes back to 00 and counts again unless the button is pressed

.c.If the Start/Stop button is pressed again, the counter will stop and will display the time between start and stop.If the button is pressed again, the timer will continue to count upward. Please make the stopwatch as accurate as possible.

d.If the Resetbutton is pressed, it will reset the chronograph to zero.e.If the Start/Stop is pressedagain, the counterwill start counting again.

f.The chronograph will “sleep” and the LED lights will turn off to save energy if the stopwatch is left idle(any time that is not counting, whether on 00 or holding a number) for 20 seconds.

g.To wake up the stopwatch, you will need to press the Reset button. The number 00 will be displayed and the above process is repeated.


I cant seem to get display one to count while display 2 displays 0

You wrote all that code and tested it once?

Where are you in this project?

Just starting?

userjyjy,

Do you have a schematic or a wiring that shows which pins are going to which segments?
Also, are you using a transistor to turn each display on an off through P2 and P3 and which one is connected to which display?
Are your pushbuttons on P0 and P1 wired as active-high or active-low?
Are you using a HomeWork board or a Board of Education?
