12f675_fuse_about_to_blow!

[tiresmokindad]

Hi everyone. Oh boy do I need some help here!

I've just purchased a PICkit1 Flash Starter Kit. I've loaded the MPLAB IDE software and the PICkit1 Classic program and been able to load and re-load the demo hex code.

So, time for me to program the 12F675 to turn a single LED on, oh deary me.At this point several questions arise.

1/ I notice that the PICKit demo program has two program files, one .ASM the other a 'C' program and also the Holy grail here an HEX output file. So question:

What program language do I start to learn Assembler code or C programming?

2/ I'd like for starters to write a program whereby I put 5v on input pin 4 and that makes an output pin 7 go +5v and lights an LED,no more complicated than that.

Can anyone point me in the right direction here?

All help really appreciated.

I think there is a big problem in your MPLAB IDE software . Try to look for an IT expert. He can surely do it.

Are you sure you are just smoking tires? Have you read past post 1?

A couple of the best pictures from last night.

The 'device' is still working well.

I can't wait for the IF_Led array to arrive.

Those pictures are going to be hard to beat.

It almost looks like the badger is posing for you... Maybe it has figured out what you are up to.
Smile for the camera, free food. That has never worked for me...

Me neither ...........Lol.

I am amazed at the results though. I'd like to lower the camera angle / height but doing so at the moment puts a lot of reflective flair into the pictures still, even with the diffuser. I'm really hoping the IR_Led array fixes everything.

I'm thinking of using another PIC pin set as an output to switch a transistor on and in turn switch a relay to drive the IR_Led array which is:"low power consumption - approximately 300mA". Does that sound like the best method to you?

The camera I'm using although very simple does have a 'movie mode' feature. I'm hoping to try and capture a short (the camera only takes 64MEG SD cards) 'Badger Movie'.

Maybe have a delay between the IR_array coming on and the camera trigger to give the camera time to adjust to the light... ??
