    large arrays and enhansed core 16F1xxx

    Using the 18Fxxxx arrays can be larger than 256 locations. This is because of linear memory.
    The little 16F parts do not use memory well and cannot have large arrays.
    The 16F1xxx "enhanced core"...

    Re: RS485 line driver in SSOP-8

    I could not find a SSOP that is 3.3 & 5.0V. They come in 3.3 OR 5.0.

    linear data memory & large data arrays

    I started a project using the 18F26K20 so I could use large arrays but I need a smaller part so am thinking of using the 16F1825 which has linear data memory.
    I need a 484 byte array.
    The data...

    Re: AC Motor speed control

    I would not run the motor at 5 on/5 off. That will cause the motor to vibrate at 6 hz. Keep the on/off as fast as possible.

    I know of a commercial product that switches at 1/2 cycles. At 50%...
  5. Re: Drive an LED direct from a PIC IO pin (ie no current limiting resistor)

    Driving LEDs without a resistor:
    LEDs are current to light devices not voltage to light. The forward voltage is for reference only.

    Re: Speeding up the PIC SPI

    I think the 18f4585 can run at 40mhz with the PLL on. The SPI should run at 10mhz.
  7. Re: how to read sine wave response from sensor

    http://www.tande.com.tw/ins-img-anemometer/specs-nrg40h.pdf
    I think it needs a 250 ohm resistor to +5 volts. Its output is square wave.
    It looks like the MPH=about 1.7 x frequency.
    If you counted...

    Re: Working PIC with Frequencies

    If clock=20mhz and you counter is running at 5mhz then the counter is counting in 0.2uS steps. If the counter=1 then 0.2uS. If the counter=10 then 2uS. 100=20uS 1/20uS=(50khz)

    If the frequency...

    Re: 12bit Power Supply

    Very clever. What LCD did you use?
    I have on my bench a Agilent N6705A that has many of he same functions. It only costs the price of a small car.

    The 2nd word, "command" should be 101010xx where xx=which pot.
    Why"IF B0 = 255 THEN LOOP"?

    Re: High voltage transistor

    That does not tell me much.

    High voltage transistors (NPN) are slow!! An 800 Volt transistor is faster than a 1000V part. The 1500 volt parts I used are dog slow.

    My experiance is from...

    There are a bunch of numbers from IXYS and STMicroelectronics.

    Many of the transistors are not in production now. You can find old stock.

    If you have a voltage =126.66 in 8 bit mode you will likely get 127 and 126 readings.

    If I use 1% resistors then the error from resistors could be...
  21. Re: Low frequency audio level detector using PIC ADC?

    Audio has a large dynamic range. I wanted to get as much range as possible. I needed to “zero” at 512 (10 bit). Resistors at 1% and even 0.1% did not always get me to zero. I also tried...

    Re: Generating square-wave of 200kHz

    Why interrupts?
    Why not use PWM?
    Why not use CCP1, CCP2?
    One of the PWM examples shows changing the dutycycle by 25nS. This gives me the idea you could change the frequency in 25nS steps.

    Re: sinusoidal PWM

    1) You could use the 32 location array you pointed at in question 3. I used M.S. EXCEL.
    3) Get the data sheet for the PIC in PDF format and search for _OSC_HSPLL_1H or some piece of that. In the...
