#84846 - external interrupt INT0 for echo signal
Responding to: ???'s previous message
i am basically timing the flight of a sonar transducer. I need to blank the recevier signal after pulsing the transmitter for 2.5ms to stop any ringing (false echos).

I am starting timer0 immediately after the pulse signal and when the echo is returned to input pin 3^2 (INT0) an external interrupt routine is performed to stop the timer, copy TH0 and TL0, and jump to a function to calculate the distance and output it to the serial.

At the moment i am using timer1 to time the 2.5mS, during which time all external interrupts are disabled. Then after 2.5mS the external interrupts are enabled in timer1 isr.
