Hi Everyone

Is there a way to fill in an WORD sized array from a comma separated string? Something like Ar = [1000, 2000, 1000, 2000 .....]. On the page 37 PBP manual suggests using ARRAYWRITE...

Hi Guys

I had couple of minutes to investigate the MAX and MIN and ways around them as the syntax seems upside down TO ME. Here is the result.
I know it isn't much of a difference but why use...

Hi Everyone

I always wanted to build a waveform shifter so that you can read-in square waveform and output exact copy of it but have an option of advancing or retarding it against the original...

6488Here it is. Sorry I didn't mention it is an N FET. Yellow line is 2V/div and is the drain against the earth, purple line is 1V/div and is the gate against the earth. Zero level is where the...

Thanks a lot Ioannis for waking me up. I've completely forgotten that often Mosfets do not need much current to switch them on/off.6487 Attached is the oscillogram showing some delay on switch_OFF....

P and N in one application (to be more general) say for an H bridge

Hi Everyone

I've got a samll problem of driving a MosFET (P or N) in a 24v DC environment.
Before this day, I happily worked in a 12v DC environment (cars). But I have come across several trucks...

Thanks a lot everyone for your replies. These all look very interesting.

Hi Guys

Has anyone seen a premade PCB for a pic with 5v Voltage regulator and Oscillator on it? Something like this one for example http://nicegear.co.nz/arduino-boards/arduino-pro-mini-5v/ This...

Thanks a lot people
I'll go with two relays

Hi Everyone

Recently I came across twin coil PCB relay. It was used as an H-bridge to drive the vehicle seat back and forth. Attached is a pdf from Tyco. If you have come across them where can you...

Hi Guys

The place I work for have just purchased mikroC PRO for PIC. I am currently using Picbasicpro compiler and I am quite happy with it. In saying so I have to admit that I wouldn't use it if...

Hi Everyone

I've just discovered that when you send decimal variable over the serial line you can use two different qualifiers DEC or #.
DEBUG DEC DatVar and DEBUG #DatVar will produce the same...

LCD Wiring:
LCD Standard.jpg is a standard way of wiring a parallel LCD. If you use LCD with backlighting sometimes it can be wired like LCD Modified.jpg. Vss is used to switch the backlighting on...

Hi Everyone
Here are some of the hardware I found useful for the hobby projects.

Pics:
I use 12F683 and 18F1230.

12F683 (Farnell p.n. 1579577) is a small 8pin chip with 8MHz internal...

No Problem, I will do my best.

Hi Everyone,

I came across interesting problem and though someone else may trip over it. I attached the code which I run on 12F683 using 8Mhz internal oscillator. Option_reg should appear only...

Hi Darrel,
Thanks a lot for your answer it works. I should also add that I looked at my old 16F877a code I mentioned above and sure enough there is no PAUSE. I scoped the time that the interrupt...

Hi Everyone,

I am having difficulties with INT_interrupt. I am using Darrel Taylor Instant interrupt system. I found that very often you can use assembly level interrupts while still using Basic...

Just found one more solution reading this thread http://www.picbasic.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=698&highlight=jswayze

I put 10k resistor in series with the AD pin and changed the PIC to 12F683...

Hi Melanie,
Thanks for the advise. A reed relay disconnecting the input will do the job. I got one from local electronics supplier. It is 100v 0.5A 500Om coil. I tried to drive it directly of Pic’s...

Hi Everyone,
I am having difficulty using Pic’s onboard A/D converter. Can someone give an advise please.
I want to measure the voltage across automotive battery when the car is running. When the...

Hi,
I decided to modify the circuitry to make the reset more obvious. I removed 100Om MCLR series resistor. The resistor was put there to comply with “Microchip MCLR use warning”(see attachment)....

Just found the thread where the guy is building ignition coil driver. His PIC resets (intermittently) when coil is fired. PIC doesn’t reset...

Hi Melanie and Bogdan
Thanks for your reply. I attached the screen shot of the configuration fuses and corrected the circuitry (I moved 100Om resistor on the other side of the ceramic capacitors...
