Implement the design on Explorer 16 as Project 1. LED D10 will be used as the RUN LED indicator using the old knight rider code.

Write an application (in C) which does the following:
1. Make the RUN LED(D10) toggle at every 1.45 Seconds (exact) interval using one of the Timer (Timer 1) module of the Microcontroller.
2. The Knight Rider pattern now consists of 7 LEDs (D9-D3). If the switch (S3) is open, the pattern is from Left to Right direction. If the switch (S3) is closed, the pattern is from Right to Left direction.
3. Repeat the whole process in an infinite way.
4. To toggle the RUN LED, precisely at 1.45 Seconds interval, you need to use the interrupt mechanism for the Timer1.

The old Knight rider code:

unsigned int count1 = 200;
unsigned int count2 = 200;

void main(void) {
while (1)
{

bool sw = PORTDbits.RD6;

if( toggleDirection ) {
LATA <<= 1;
}
else {
LATA >>= 1;
}

if( LATA == 0x80 ) toggleDirection = false;
if( LATA == 0x01 ) toggleDirection = true;

if( !sw ) {
if( !pressed ) {
if( toggleDirection ){
toggleDirection = false;
LATA = 0x80;
}
else {
toggleDirection = true;
LATA = 0x01;
}
pressed = true;
}
}
else {
pressed = false;
}

delayFunc();

}
return -1;
}
}

void delayFunc(void)
{
int j,k;
int a;

for(j = 0; j < count1; j++)
{
for(k=0; k < count2; k++)
{
a = 0;
}
}

}

Use the old knight rider code to write the following below:
Write an application (in C) which does the following:
1. Make the RUN LED(D10) toggle at every 1.45 Seconds (exact) interval using one of the Timer (Timer 1) module of the Microcontroller.
2. The Knight Rider pattern now consists of 7 LEDs (D9-D3). If the switch (S3) is open, the pattern is from Left to Right direction. If the switch (S3) is closed, the pattern is from Right to Left direction.
3. Repeat the whole process in an infinite way.
4. To toggle the RUN LED, precisely at 1.45 Seconds interval, you need to use the interrupt mechanism for the Timer1.

In this updated code, the RUN LED (D10) is toggled at every 1.45 seconds using the Timer1 interrupt mechanism. The switch S3 determines the direction of the Knight Rider pattern (Left to Right if open and Right to Left if closed). The process is repeated infinitely. The delayFunc function is replaced with a built-in __delay_ms function for simplicity.
can you make your last code simpler?
Certainly! Here's a simplified version of the code:

```c
#include <xc.h>

#pragma config OSC = INTIO67
#pragma config WDT = OFF, LVP = OFF, MCLRE = ON

#define _XTAL_FREQ 8000000

void init(void);

void __interrupt() isr(void)
{
if (PIR1bits.TMR1IF)
{
PIR1bits.TMR1IF = 0;
LATAbits.LATA7 ^= 1;
}
}

void main(void)
{
init();

while (1)
{
bool toggleDirection = PORTDbits.RD6;

if (toggleDirection)
{
LATA <<= 1;
if (LATA == 0) LATA = 0x80;
}
else
{
LATA >>= 1;
if (LATA == 0) LATA = 0x01;
}

__delay_ms(1450);
}

return -1;
}

void init(void)
{
TRISA = 0x00;
TRISD = 0xFF;

LATA = 0x01;

T1CON = 0b00110000;
TMR1H = 0x60;
TMR1L = 0x00;

RCONbits.IPEN = 0;
INTCONbits.GIE = 1;
PIE1bits.TMR1IE = 1;
PIR1bits.TMR1IF = 0;
}
```

In this simplified version of the code, there's no need for the `pressed` variable and the switch checking logic is moved directly inside the main loop. The toggle direction is determined by reading the value of the switch directly. The delay function is replaced with `__delay_ms` for simplicity.
