I found some problem when doing my final year project
Now, I am doing a security system with using PIC18

My project is like this
Sensor (digital sensor) detected -> signal send to my PIC18, then I want make a delay of 5 seconds to start the alarm

So, anyone here know how to write a program / coding to make the time delay for the operation?

Please post what code you have already and we will give you some advice on fixing what you have. That said, depending on which system calls and other functions you have available with your C/C++ compiler system, you can look at sleep() or similar function calls to set a delay.
