#150987 - It's worse than that, Jim

you have very limited control of the code generated by the compiler regarding number of instructions and machine cycles.

In fact, you have no control whatsoever - see: http://www.8052.com/forum/read.phtml?id=149030

But note that delay loops are unlikely to be an appropriate solution for such long delays anyhow - see: http://www.8052.com/forum/read.phtml?id=150985

write delay functions yourself and measure it

Even that won't help, since you also have no guarantee whatsoever that the compiler will generate exactly the same code next time - especially if you change compiler settings, or move to a different compiler version, etc.

11.059Mhz clock to create 1-30 second delay in C?            01/01/70 00:00      
   as far as I remember...            01/01/70 00:00      
      It's worse than that, Jim            01/01/70 00:00      
   solution?            01/01/70 00:00      
   Not nested loops!            01/01/70 00:00      
      I'll check those out tonight after work            01/01/70 00:00      
         delay needs to be centered around 5 seconds or so            01/01/70 00:00

               Couldn\'t use of a different crystal solve this?            01/01/70 00:00      
                  I wonder            01/01/70 00:00
