Hi, can you guide me on use of timers of pic? actually what i have to do is, for 8sec time, i have to average values from a sensor. how do i increment count every sec? will the following method work instead of timers?
```
for(count=0;count<= 8;count++)
{
   do(something);
   delay_ms(1000);
}
```

You may solve it by incrementing a variable as above…. but the best solution is to use PIC’s internal timer module..
eg :
```
//Start Timer
for(a=read_timer;a< a_value;)
{
    //Do Something
}
//Stop Timer
```
You can use Timer0 module… Read the Timer0 section in the datasheet.
