oh, thanks for the reply and glad he's doing well. he'll defenitely be missed on here.

hi, Ive been away from the PBP/PIC microcontrollers for a while, and just came back to work on a project, and realized that bruce has more or less vanished from here, and his site just went offline...

if it's running at 3.3v, then yes, it'll output at 3.3 logic levels, and there's always the alternative of using something like a voltage divider with a 1.8k ohm and 3.3k ohm resistors if you need to...

@wdmagic, I dont really care about shipping time tbh, if i really need parts really fast, Ill just give money to someone with a credit card and have them order the stuff from a company like jameco,...

for me, the reason is most of those places dont allow paying with paypal, only credit card, which is the reason I order over ebay. also the parts are a bit cheaper by the time you factor in shipping...

I order stuff from overseas all the time, and usually it will come in a type of foam, usually the stuff mine arrives in is a pink foam, but it doesnt mess with anything.

hey, Ive been curious about something for a while, but Ive used hser for various projects due to this reason, but sending a long stream of chars to the PIC usually causes it to lock up. I use a...

difference is that one uses serial usart on chip and one does it through software. yes, software is slower, but only to a point, but if you only run it at 9600 baud rate, which most projects use, it...

try checking this out, it should help a bit with code and such

everyone's still here, but imo, most questions have already been asked and those with problems, and those that have problems, they've discovered the forum search function. :P
Ive seen everyone still...

maybe take like 10 values and average them, then display the average instead? it may stop the jumpy LEDs a little.

check out this site, has alot of interestings dealing with ir.
http://www.rentron.com/PicBasic/IR_Chips.htm
also, here's a clip from that site for decoding the IR signal, maybe it'll help you in...

no, the iCP01 seemed to be kinda cheap made for me, so I just got the sure electronics clone. Its an identical clone of the official pickit2. Also alot of people said a bunch bad about the company,...

Ive used pulsin before on some tv remote learning projects, and even at 40Khz, it's fine. I think it's like 600Khz or higher that the chips start having issues at 20Mhz, and 200Khz at 400Khz, so for...

what type of programmer do you have? I had an offbrand pickit2 that when it started to become faulty, it'd cause the same symptoms that your experiencing, the chips were fine, but the programmer was...

in the datasheet he had posted up above, the A6276ELW's operating voltage shows 7v. it could probably be 5v, but if the board was being replaced by the pic chip, the voltage of the original board...

all it is is a 16 bit shift register, so I dont see why it would be that hard to just emulate a shift register with the 18f4550, but I'd honestly go for something cheaper rather than wasting a chip...

I just use PL2303 usb to ttl converters and any PIC chip that I wanted. the PL2303 converters, I just bought a bunch of them for around $1.25USD with shipping included. I'd say that's cheap enough of...

I have a 16f628a running at 3v also and it works fine.(2 AA batteries) As the datasheets show, they wont run above 4Mhz if run at lower voltages. If your trying to run it on a 20Mhz crystal, that may...

I did see this in your code and maybe it's just me, but in your new code, I saw this part:


try changing it to and see if it helps:

' Initialize the A/D converter
TRISA = %11111111
ADCON1 =...

Some simulators wont set the time automatically to system time, Ive run into this in the past, but just have your PIC chip check the time on startup and if it's all 0s, have it set the time through...

the 4 diodes in full wave bridge will convert the positive and negative parts of AC waveform into a positive only waveform that has both of them bouncing on the positive side. to convert it to a...

ok, went through and fine tuned everything with pickit2 part, just change it to this and it should work perfectly.


I just wrote some code to my robot a few mins using this and the pickit2, so I...

yea, the tiles is what bugs me most. I think I rather just finish up my gedit mods and use that, pretty much every other programming language uses gEdit also in linux, so I might as well just add it...

ok, I just tried it with Skin=None and the skins are still there, and it still is the same way. I dont think it's going to run on linux/wine. I think the only alternative is recompiling using...
