Prepare Sample Program

The attached example program is not originally written fot the

Keil compiler. Make the necessary fixes first.
This example program shows how to compute the width of a pulse
using timer0 in mode 1.
Port 3.2 (!INT0) is used as an external gate that enables timer
0 to count. An interrupt is used to accumulate timer overflow.
Modify the program such that the width of each pulse is
reported to the PC via the serial port.
Demonstrate the modified program
1. Modify the source program's syntax for the Keil Compiler.
2. Modify the program to repeatedly sent out a pulse on P3.5 .
3. Modify the program to measure the echosed pulse from P3.2 (!
INT0).
4. Modify the program to report the new measurement by a message
sent via the serial port to PC
(Terminal program Mon51 or Windows Hyperterminal).
5. For testing you dont want Hex avoider to start moving.
So, it is better to disconnect the servos.
6. Compile, download and run the program.
The distance from a object or wall should be continuous updated
and shown on the PC screen..
