Yes we use ICP and we have a good solid connection. We use pin headers for programming all out boards. We try to not use the programming pins for i/o as much as possible but sometimes it is necessary...

My company has 2 of the U2 programmers and when we use them in production mode from a batch file after x number of successful programs it then comes up with a message "Lost communication with...

It it were in the 15-20 dollar range I'd purchase a copy.
Put me on your list.

Thanks. That helps a lot.

I'll have to wait until tomorrow. I left my memory stick at work.

I thought so but mine doesn't seem to be cooperating.
There must be something I'm missing.
Thanks.

Using the select case statements, after a case is found true and I branch off to a sub routine then return does it return where it jumped from and look for the next true case statement or just exit...

Perfect. I'm already using Serin2 with inverted serial out. Looks to be just a simple modification.
Thanks.

Can the parity be used for error checking? If so how can it be implemented? There is nothing that I can find in the PBP manual.

Does anyone know to scroll a 2 or a 4 line serial LCD with a PIC?

Here is a driver written in assembly for the MCP3204 or MCP3208 12 bit A/D converter.
I've included the PBP defines to use it with the 16F628 and can be dropped in your program exactly as shown.
It...

Great find. Thanks.

I send a lot of strings to LCD's and some of the "STD" basic string functions would be really handy. Of coarse strings suck up a bunch of memory but Constantly used strings can be stored in EEProm...

I've use the 12f629,675,683 and the 16f628a all at 2400 and all with just a plain twisted pair wire up to 25 feet with great results.
I just send data to serial data lcd's so I don't need high...

Does anyone have the book "Experimenting with the PicBasic Pro Compiler" with the CD by Les Johnson for sale?
It is apparently out of print.

Well sort of. It prints the 9 which is supposed to be the sync byte followed by the 3 (93) but only if connected by a wire.
Isn't it supposed to just print the character following the sync byte?...

Yeah...Ummmm.
That thread is really confusing.

Still fighting this thing. I've changed it serout2 and serin2 with a synch character but still no luck. It will work with lots of noise with the wait & synch character removed.
I'm pretty sure the...

I got a couple of RF modules from Rentron to experiment with.
I'm using debug on the transmit side to send the data.
The problem is it will send the data to the LCD and display it momentarily then...

Yes! That sounds like what I need.
I'm using all the analog inputs on my little 12F683 and I don't have any extra pins to use 2 per sensor.
The 1.25v reference sounds perfect. I have some LM385's...

Ohh. I get it.
So it will take 2 A/D channels for each sensor. I'm using an 8 pin pic with 3 A/D channels in use and the 4th is used for the voltage ref. Looks like if I want full scale I'll have to...

I read that but that basically gives me 2 grounds. The supply ground and the new floating ground. Do I have to use 2 analog channels and read the difference or use a separate isolated supply? I was...

How do I connect the floating ground to the pic? Does it need a separate isolated supply? I can't ground the floating ground correct?

How can I go about reading in an LM34 at full range with a 12F683 and PBP?
It outputs -500mv at -50deg anf +3000mv at 300 deg.
Can a pic read a negative voltage and how would PBP tell the the...

And thanks to alec also. Somehow I missed his post earlier but he did a lot of the work for me and between Steve and Alec I think we've got it..
I have a solar hot air furnace which I'm building...
