Re: WiFi to setup a PIC based device

about 6 months or a year ago I mentioned an 8266 UART-WIFI bridge. After programming a few files into it, after that it just starts up able to send and receiving at set baud over your wifi settings....

Re: WiFi to setup a PIC based device

Yes ,
first step get a esp8266 , set up arduino for esp , install the espasync tcp and webserver libs and arduinojson too

try the examples, then try this

Re: WiFi to setup a PIC based device

Bluetooth is an option I 've not though to use. Will consider it if it can be used also on iOS.

WiFi is sure more versatile. I guess setting up an ESP needs some knowledge on C, right?

Asking...

Re: SSD1306 OLED (42x40) I2C display from scratch

something to consider about fonts
it looks like you want 40x22 size font
a pic16 has a flash word size of 14 bits therefore a font that size
will take if encoded horizontally by row take 2x40...

Re: Bluetooth text file transfet from mobile phone to PIC - rookie's question

wifi is the easy way , just add an esp module or a socket for one

Re: WiFi to setup a PIC based device

simple, anything with a browser can set data fields and/or transfer files up or down to an esp8266 module of your choice
the esp can host the server on its own net or on your chosen wifi network...

Re: WiFi to setup a PIC based device

I'm sure UART over WiFi is possible but if the goal is to use a smartphone with a terminal program then I would think Bluetooth would be easier.
Something like a HC-06 module on the PIC side and...

Bluetooth text file transfet from mobile phone to PIC - rookie's question

Thanks Jerson.

I'll grab some of these modules and try :wink:

WiFi to setup a PIC based device

I wonder if there is a way to setup parameters to a PIC based device.

One way would be to force the user to connect the device to a PC through a serial cable and on the PC a terminal program can...

Re: Bluetooth text file transfet from mobile phone to PIC - rookie's question

You could look at a module called the HC05. It will pair with your bluetooth phone and can talk on 5V UART with the PIC.

AMICUS

What is Amicus18?

Amicus is a multifunction development system inspired by the popular Arduino board, however, the Amicus board uses a Microchip PIC^® microcontroller instead of an Atmel AVR^tm type.

Comprehensive documentation and a helpful and friendly support environment, make using Amicus18 an easy and enjoyable experience for beginners and seasoned programmers.

Forum Moderator Mackrakit (Dave) very kindly ported the Proton BASIC Compiler code over to PBP3 and modified the original AMicus18 docuemts for PBP3 users.

Companion Sheild

The entry level shield is labelled The Companion Shield. This is a PCB laid out in the pattern of a solderless breadboard. The holes are single sided, which means that components can easily be removed using solder mop braid, or a solder vacuum tool, if a mistake is made, or components need to be re-used.

The (PBP3) Companion Shield Manual iCan be downloaded from here

GPS Shield

The Amicus GPS shield contains a multi channel GPS receiver, as well as a 16k byte (128 kbit) serial (I2C) eeprom, and a 3 Volt, 12mm battery socket in order to maintain the receiver's built-in RTC (Real Time Clock).

Available in our on-line store
