Hi,
Have you built the hardware and have it scrolling messages?

There are two buttons that behave differently with the hardware you produce from the PCB.
The pic program assumes two button pins are pulled to gnd, and the other two are
pulled up.
The change made in the hardware PCB requires all input buttons be pulled high
(or low.. don't quite remember).

Did you build from mrtripoli's PCB artwork, or schematic?

hi art
aminha and doubts over the buttons to program the mesagem the pc
are the same DIP switch ,1, DIP switch 2 ,DIP 3 DIP switch, DIP switch 4
or has other buttons ...

[Art]

My prototypes have DIP switches connected in series with each of
the four buttons so that a button could be "held down" easily.
I didn't intend for the DIP switches to be used by anyone else though.

Hi there.
I started a few months with programming pic's
I now made the 144 led display game and message scroller.
But i now wanted to re-program the chip to only a message scroller for christmas.
The picbasic code is to me to long and complex.
How can i put in a different text, for instance "marry christmas"

In the last version, the text message is stored plainly in the on-chip eeprom area of the 16F877.

Yes i found the version 3. And it says that data can be put in internal memory.
But with proton ide or mplab i can not compile the .bas-file. There are many many errors.
I tried to rewrite but i am not experience enough.
So i only want a simply massage scroller working with the 144 led display.
The most simply one is enough.

Problem found... This forum is for PicBasic not Proton.

Don't have to compile it, there's a hex file to use. Just change the values in the on-chip eeprom area with your pic programming software. Also you can use a serial terminal program to send the message to the unit. You would need Picbasic to change any way the program works, but not the message.

i tried to use the serial posability. But i can not change anyting.
I use the max232. With this i can read and write to a 16f628a, s the com and max232 are working.
I first tried the original rx and tx ports but later i saw i had to use port e.1.
No result.
i push porta.1 when startup. The screen is blank.
sending text
restart
no result.
What dont i see??
