Seems I did get it.
I meant connect op2 (which would be count3 starting from 0) to reset to divide by 3.
Maybe you got mixed up with 2 being the third count from 0, hard work innit.
P.S I'd planned on using 2 pics as freq dividers, one for a 200kc input and another for a 10mc input, but it seems that the pic cant handle 10mc's on timer1, the code that works fine on 200kc gives sporadic o/p freq on 10mc's.
I thought you could clock timer 1 up to 50mc's, maybe thats with the prescaler diving it down before it gets to the timer.
Edit: sussed the above, to use the ccp1 module in compare mode you have to sync the timer1 to the incomming clock pulses, the pic's crystal is 20mc's so the instruction clock will be 5mc's, my external signal is 10mcs, so the external clock is higher than the instruction clock, the sync circuit is messing up because timer1's clock freq is too high, how do I get round this one then?
