Revert a port from PWM to Digital I/O

If id does matter, chip is 47K42.

After setting the registers for a PWM output and selecting, for example, RC5PPS=%%00001001, the PWM signal indeed does appear on the output port.

What about...

Re: Erratic LED blinking

Thanks Jerson.

At the moment it looked OK to have the LCDout inside the regularly called ISR, as it updatetd the LCD often. If the freq is low enough 1-2 Hz, it updates every second the LCD...

Re: Erratic LED blinking

First thing that seems unusual to me is LCDOUT inside the ISR handler. That is something I would not do.
Secondly, there is a statement if freq < 68 then freq = 136 followed by freq = freq/68. As...

Erratic LED blinking

On the uploaded YT video one can see that the LED is not blinking stable as it should.

Can anyone spot what is wrong with the code please?

That LED is driven from the in2 output port and while...

Re: Analog inputs on K42 chip

Managed to test it and yes. One can count from 0 up to the last port in series for the analog inputs.

Works just fine.

Analog inputs on K42 chip

Before dealing with the registers directly, does anyone know what is the sequence, if any, on the analog inputs of the above chip?

I mean, after RA0-RA7 that corrssponds to Analog 0 to Analog 7,...

Re: Compiling problem

Strange ...

What IDE do you use and which PBP version ???

here, I tested with MPLAB 8.92 and PBP 3.1.6.4 ( last release )

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

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.
