Did you happen to do anything differnt with the MCLR? Config fuses?
Another thought, if you suspect the Crystal OSC, try a resonator.
They have the caps built-in. Much simplier (in m opinion...

I've tried using the ICD2 with PBP and did not have the best of luck. This is a question
that I have thought about as well. Although I wish I had an answer for you. Hopefully
someone here...

Joe and Paul
Thanks for the help again fellas. Really like the PIC based link.
I will to modify this idea as my starting ponit and go from there.
Any idea if a microcontoller is used in the...

Thanks for the links Locko. Some of these I have seen before.
I too was thinking about the BFO detector as well. However
you are first person I have had any conversation with who has some real...

After re-reading my first post I should of mentioned I
want to build the metal detector of the style used for searching
the ground for old coins and such. Something like the Whites
style of...

Hey Gang
I am think of building a metal dectector. Purchased on this summer, but some how
I think its possible to build a better one. After doing a google search and a search on
this forum I'm...

one last note. The code in the link is in PicBasic Pro,
however the .HEX file is there and you should be able
to load that into the PIC. Or you write your own code.

Hey again Murph.
Here is link that might point you into the right direction.
Looks like this guys made a couple versions on an altimeter.
One of them was a pic based version.

Hey Murph
I don't have alot info on altimatures, however these are real popular
with the high power model rockets. Maybe a model rocket site will have some
links on how to build your own. In...

Ohhh, lock me and whip me too please.

On a more serious note, I recall reading somewhere
(with certain programmers) there was a problem with
erasing the F88 with internal osc configured. Keep...

Ahh, better yet, here is the actual link to the step by step
guide.

You will use MPLAB but it will acept PBP code. This will let you
use your ICD2 to...

I think there might be a better way. Recently purchased an ICD 2 clone
and set MPLAB to work with PBP. Its take a little work and some careful
instructions (not to mention it was little hard to...

Hello all.
In regards to the posts about the DS18B20 sensors and resolution.
This seems to be a fairly common problem with these sensors.
I have trouble with this also. How can the resolution be...

Hey Guys.
In the PBP manual there is a circuit diagram with a 10K resistor (pull-up)
connected to +5 and A4. Also some of the portA pins require
pull-ups, though don't recall which ones. I'd...

The problem was a couple of issues. The port wasn't set to digtal (ANSEL),
Another was the pull-up resistor was omitted. I checked the data sheet
to make sure the CMCON was turned off, but...

Hi All
I'm happy to say my LCD is up and running. I'm impressed by the number of
quick responses to my question.

Thanks to all for the replies and tips. You guys are great.
Gordon

Got going Joe.
Thanks for the tips and the link to the thread. Found it was a huge
help.

Thanks again, now I can move forward with this project.

Tried the

ANSEL=%00000000 ' set all analog pins to digital

still no luck. Just the solid black line across the
top of the LCD. Any other suggestions/ideas.

Thanks in advance.

Wow! Joe that was fast reply.

I'm going to try your suggestion right now. The

ANSEL=%00000000 ' set all analog pins to digital

is what I think is the missing piece.
Will let know how this...

Hello all
Recently made the to switch from MBasic to PBP.

Here my trouble, my project is using a 16F88 with the 4MHz bootloader.
(So cool you can now use a bootloader with a 16 pin PIC)
Can...

Also I forgot to mention its not a USB programmer. Its the serial style.

Hello all.
Fighting with a problem for some time now. After purchasing PBP I found
I didn't have a prgrammer that would readily work with PBP. A home made
JDM would sometimes work, and my...

Hi Steve
Thanks for your input. As a matter of fact I built an ICD-2 clone
awhile back. Some folks say it can be used with PBP as a programmer.
Although I haven't figured this out yet. As of...

Hello Gang
I'm new commer to PBP from another complier. So far I think PBP was the
right choice for my projects. There is however a few hangs up with the
programmer I use. So, perhaps maybe you...

Thanks Steve.
I recall reading what you posted in the help file. But for some reason it
rings a bit more clear the way you put.
