i have downloaded the pbp compiler but its just in a demo, it can only compile 30 lines. do you know any alternative compiler?
as for the materials that i have, i have here a pic16f877a and a programmer module for that pic. the vdip2 that i have ordered will be arriving soon.
|
please correct me if i'm wrong,
i will burn the program to the pic, then, i will connect the pic to the vinculum using uart mode. then the pic will be the one to issue commands to the vinculum and there is no need for the 232 connections. is that right?
also, how i'm i going to apply the vinculum command sets such as WRF and CLF ? will the compiler be able to understand them?

Have you read the code examples posted here? How to read and write are both here.Originally Posted by newbie
As for a compiler, PBP is the only one I will recommend.
Practice blinking LEDs with the demo version and other small things first. Then try something bigger later.
You will not be able to make this work as a first project even if you had the full version of PBP.

about the shorts programs like the blinking leds, i have done that already. i already know how to program and burn in pic micro controller. my only problem is to connect it to the vdip, since this is my only first time to use the vinculum so.. was i right with this statement? :
"i will burn the program to the pic, then, i will connect the pic to the vinculum using uart mode. then the pic will be the one to issue commands to the vinculum and there is no need for the 232 connections"

I thought you said this was your first project...
If you know all the basics and read the examples you would have seen that the RS232 chip is not needed if you are bit banging the serial.

sorry for the misunderstanding...what I meant was this is my first project using the vinculum not the pic.
can you please tell me what you know about controlling the vinculum using a pic microcontroller. i need to know more info about this topic.

Pretty much what I have done with these are posted above. The above example is a data logger for a GPS. The link to the post from Brian T has the writing example. You can see on the GPS example how to collect data and save it to the module.
To be honest, the VDIP thing works well but is a pain in the _ _ _ .
I purchased two and ended up with one in the logger and the other is collecting dust. The data sheet is hard to follow and if it was not for Brian's post I do not think I could have made it work or would have given up.
If you are having a specific problem I am sure we can work though it.
Let us know.
