I am currently working on a rfPIC project but I don't want to use the dev board as my final design will be put on a PCB board. I want to build the circuits for the chips myself and program them also, I am just wondering if anyone has done this and can provide some assistance
thanks in advance
Which dev board and programmer are you using? What are you wanting to duplicate?
But the answer is yes. it can be done.
I am not using a dev board, just breadboarding the two PICs and wiring in the components I will be using the pic kit programmer with mp lab. I don't need a complex design. all I want to do is transmit data like 1 meter and be able to detect when the data has been successfully transmitted.
OK, I think I got it. You want to make your own circuit board, soldered together and put in a box.
If this is correct let us know. I do not want to post a how to and not answer your question.
yes I think you got it, I have all the components, resistors, wires, and everything and I want to wire up the circuit myself, I have the rfPIC and RXD receiver as well as different PIC micros if they are needed. Once I have made the circuits I want to program them to send data from the rfPIC to the RXD and when it is received I want to turn on a led, once this led is turned on I can figure out how to attach that rxd output pin to the microprocessor and do whatever else I need. I am just a bit confused on the circuits and programming needed to do this.
thank you very much for your time in helping me out with this project.
Start off by reading this and I will see if I can find some more info latter.

thank you very much for this Dave I thought I had looked at everything on microchips site but I missed this. Appendix A is very helpful as for the transmitter device. also as I dont need the pressure sensing part or the LF part this will be a very small circuit which is great.
I am very greatful for this information, if you have some time and can assist on the receiving end (RXD) or the code as well that would be great.
Thanks again
I think at this point you would benefit from getting the CD from Bruce.

I do not have it , but if it is like Bruce's other stuff it should get you going and then some.
Should save you time and headaches.
Then when you have a specific problem you will be able to get direct answers.
Now we are going with general questions that will take forever on the forum.
But I have a question for you. What other projects have you done. This is a tough one to start with if you do not have much experience.
I am in my graduate year of electrical engineering and am just wanting to try to do some rf work on the side. I have no problem building the circuits, I have just not programmed the rfPIC or the RXD so I was just hoping to get some assistance with the code needed to program both.

If not, you've got a ways to go...
What have you built and/or programmed so far?
sorry I wasn't very clear I have programmed pics before that's how I found out about rfPICs I have buit a coaxial cable measuring tool, line followers, and iIR distance measurer just haven't worked with the rfPIC
