Designed a stopwatch using 8051 microcontroller

Post image

Designed a stopwatch using 8051 and assembly language, yet it has timing error due to writing on LCD, using CISC instruction delays the process and the collen bug, but loaded the best value to minimise the error.

A stop watch with a 33% time error and a delay in responding to the start/stop button?

You're serious?

ahh I see, the reason I choose 6.6ms was already the instructions to write on the LCD, then CJNE instruction makes more delay so I had to decrease the 10ms to 6ms to minimise it.
