title: How do you make a timer for PIC18?
body: <p>For the life of me I can't make a timer for PIC18 or precisely PIC18f87j11. All I want to do is to have a counter that increments every 1 second. I just want to monitor how long PIC18 been running in terms of seconds. </p>
  
  <p>Most of the tutorials out there are for PIC16 and are in assembly. I am trying to do this using C programming. For someone who is beginner I understand better if I see examples, so without examples I can't progress. </p>
  
  <p>please someone show me an example, thank you! </p>
