Hmmm, OK, I might give that a try, but I'm still not sure if the refresh rate is going to be suitable. I think my previous displays were cycling at about 1ms per cycle and that produced a very...

Hi All,

I've been away for a long while but I'm getting geared up to do some fun PIC projects. Last year I made a controller for RGB LED pixels. It basically does stuff like cycle through the...

Hi Sougata,

Sorry for the delayed response, for some reason the email didn't make it to me on my home email ( I must've loaded my hotmail address which doesn't accept mail from unknown senders),...

Hi there,

The people doing the software are www.123.co.nz. And you can send queries to them at [email protected]

Hi,

Yes indeed this job can be done from any location on the planet. The actuators are from HIWIN, the LAS series (2). We have ones that have fitted optical sensors but I believe this is not the...

Hi there,

I'm not sure if there is some other thread or something for this but I thought I'd start a new one cause I couldn't find one.

I've got a client who wants someone to design a board /...

Ya did put some 1K's on and found the same thing, that it all worked perfectly. I should've come back to this post with that. Strange that I haven't seen any mention of doing that anywhere else.

Sorry for the double post but I thought I'd point out that if a would-be intruder applied say 12V or so to a few of the keys on the keypad the poor PIC would writhe in pain a bit then squirt some...

Thanks very much for the response. I had a dodgey switch arrangement for the program switch and it was letting that pin float a bit so I changed it out and now it works great. Thanks for posting...

Hi there, I'm trying to use your code on a 16F648A, and getting unexpected results. I've read the spec sheet till I'm blue in the face and well, maybe I've missed something. But I thought I'd ask...

Thanks Mel, I have finally got some 275V X2 caps and some VDR's (I had to buy 100 of them but thats OK). So I'll sort out a PCB (well marked, and well housed) and let you know how it goes...

Hey Mel, sorry about going back to this dreaded topic again but I was wondering a couple things about your transformerless power supply circuit.

1 - What sort of 470nF 400V cap did you use? I...

Thanks for those. Yes space is exactly why I don't want a tranny. I'll try your's Mel it looks good. And I'll make sure it is well housed. I was getting some heat disspation problems as you...

Hi there,

Despite the obvious safety issues etc, I am very interested in building a transformerless power supply for my PICs. I am in New Zealand where the power is 240VAC @ 50Hz so most of the...

Hey Peu, I'm working on pretty much the same thing with a 12F675 PWMing to 3 Mosfets. Everything is working well except I'm finding when I PWM from GP2 and GP4 the MOSFETs don't really pulse they...

Thanks for your help, It looks like I was neglecting the defines (I was setting the fuses with my programmer, but they were obviously getting over-written). It looks like the reason all my stuff was...

PS: I forgot to change the comments regarding the port numbers. But I'm wondering about stuff like at the moment I'm running both PBC and PBP on the same computer and it doesn't seem to be a problem...

Well, I'm using a 12F675 and heres one of several that haven't worked:

CMCON = 7 ' Comparators OFF
ANSEL = 0 ' A/D OFF
loop: High GPIO.1 ' Turn on LED connected to PORTB.0
...

Hi There, I've just upgraded from PIC Basic Compiler to the PRO version due to the obvious limitations with the standard version. I had PBC working great until I ran out of code space etc. But now...
