    Re: Light dimmer not working

    and the ACDetect routine will need to be changed... burst mode as it is right now... not sure why this version is still hanging around... might have forgot to upload the right version again lol

    Re: Reed relay in a car

    Some reed relay have built-in diode, some don't... but still you need one. I wouldn't use them in automotive application.

    Out of curiosity... Why do you want a relay for so such small current?!?

    Re: Multiple Game Target Ideas

    Basically you'll build a kind of drum pad. So an electret microphone or piezo sensor should do the trick... Electret microphone are darn cheap... can be found almost everywhere.

    Re: I2C question w/ MCP23017 Port Expanders

    your pull-up are far to be correct... at slow speed they need to be 4.7K or so... around 1.8k at higher speed.

    Begin with it.

    Re: Do Loop

    Problem often lie in how you interface the LDR to the PIC. But a software crash... well something's wrong somewhere else. Code, hardware... hard to pin point without having the whole thing here...

    Re: need help hserin/hserout cmucam4

    How about trying it and see what happen. Those are guideline, really more than enough to begin.

    Serial signal sniffer comes handy in those situations.
  7. Re: Digital pot, voltage regulator or can software do the trick?

    Food for thought:
    Raise the PWM frequency so you can use a smaller cap value... a buffer in between also reduce the load... smaller cap

    Some PIC have DAC... 5 bits but workable

    Re: need help hserin/hserout cmucam4

    Many different way to skin a cat, but sometime, Hserin timeout feature can be handy.

    HSERIN 500, main,[WAIT("ACK\r"), SKIP 1, tc_mx, tc_my,SKIP 4, p0, c0, SKIP 2]

    OR something like this will...

    Re: basic question about OSCCON and HS_OSC

    Tip: To prevent killing the OSC with your probe, you want to use a 10x (or more) probe, and monitor the OSC2/CLKO pin.

    Re: Newbie question on reading port staus

    it will also return the state of the output. Nothing hard to solve through a bitwise operation or simply by breading the bits you need.

    Your PIC have a built-in USART... use it, it has load of of advantage.

    you haven't posted other lines of code, so it could be anything... often really simple like adding

    You could still read the I/O in a Timer based ISR... done fast enough it "give" the feeling of an interrupt. You can even use the Time base as debounce delay... you could even trick the PIC and...
