This is off topic of PBP, but many of you have much experience in overall design. I was hoping you could point me in the right direction regarding terminology for further searching.

I'm dabbling...

Very much appreciated guys. That worked perfectly.

Darrel's code wins though. :D Indeed, about 16uS. Sayzer's loop took about 112uS. An improvement but still not quite fast enough.

If...

Hey all. I'm trying to find a faster and more efficient way to evaluate a byte. I'll have some bits coming over a radio connection that will be either $00 or $FF. It is possible a certain bit...

I'm looking for a simple way to create an analog voltage OUT. Basically a digital to analog converter. Not sure if any 16 or 18 family PIC's have a DAC onboard or if there is a super simple (and...

LOL. Thanks guys. That'll do it.

Is there a way to write the "meProg - Configuration" settings right in my code? Setting the Osc modes, Watchdog timer, Fail safe, etc - all the stuff that pops up in the Configuation window of the...

Thanks everyone.

I ended up going with DipTrace for now. As manax said - I agree creating components is a bit harder than it probably needs to be, but the rest of the software seems very clean...

I'm laying out a design with a 18F45K20. What is the difference between the standard "External Interrupts" INT pins, and the other PORTB "Interrupt on Change" pins.

There are INT0, INT1, and INT2...

Doh! Found it. Went right to it right after posting. Figures. For anyone else looking for this....


4.17.7. DIG
DIG returns the value of a decimal digit. Simply tell it the digit number (0...

It seems like there's a statment that splits the individual characters of an integer into two separate variables.

For example:

MyVar = 45

Make_MyVarCharacter1 = 4
Make_MyVarCharacter2 = 5
...

LOL. Interesting you say that.

It's actually our current outside contractor that's painted that picture - this is the stated reason the past couple designs we've handed them - simple one page...

Hey all. This is off topic but everyone here is so helpful.

We've got a few products in production now. We've always let our contract manufacturer lay out our boards for us based on our...

Outstanding. Thank you very much Brian - exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks Brian. I hear what you're saying, but just can't picture how exactly such a thing would be implemented.

I've got an antenna - a piece of wire... with a signal that goes to an input of a...

This is a basic electronics question, but everything I find on google goes into tons of detail of how exactly a schottky is constructed and it's characteristics, but I can't find straight up...

Outstanding. Thanks so much. That makes my job easy.

Oooohhh.... okay, well that sounds easy enough. I thought I could turn the interrupt on change on and off for individual pins. Is that only change to other pins on the port, or any pin on the...

I'm playing with a 16F677 and have a question about interrupt on change.

I'd like the pic to set a flag in the background when the pin changes, but I don't want to re-direct the program execution...

This is off topic but hoped someone could point me in the right direction.

I'm trying to interface with a piece of hardward that uses a proprietary serial communication using short packets of 4 to...

My application requires long periods of sleep until an input is received (may be hours or weeks) - using RA2 wake on interrupt for this, and have WDT disabled to keep it from waking the Pic.
...

If I want to keep a particular loop as fast as possible (fewest cycles), does it add more time to reference a value by it's variable name?

For example, do these two code blocks take the same...

Thanks guys! Much appreciated!

Okay perfect - that is exactly what I'm asking, and now the follow up...

What is the exact syntax to split off the high and low bits? That really is my confusion at this point. I want to do...

No, sorry. Not what I was asking. lol.

I'm asking if I create a 16 bit variable, and populate it by saying "myVar = TRM1", will it automatically plug the TMR1H and TMR1L values together and...

I'm a bit confused on the actual use and syntax when using WORD sized variables.

I'm going to measure a timed event, then use that time as a basis for a pass/fail trial of another timed event. I...
