    Unhappy PIC16F676 Troubles

    Hi,

    I am having trouble trying to use this pic. I have version 2.33 of PBP. This is the code:

    define OSC 20
    define adc_bits 10
    define adc_sampleus 50
    ANSEL = 1 'channel 0 analog all others digital
    ADCON0 = 129 'a/d control register setup
    ADCON1 = 96 'fosc/64

    ctrlv var porta.0

    But i get an error when compiling at the ANSEL line.
    Am i going to have to upgrade to the latest version of PBP to use this pic (hope not im skint) or am i doing somthing wrong?

    I wish to use 20MHz osc, external MCLR, a/d on porta.0, all other pins digital.

    Hi Bob,

    I'm not sure at all PBP 2.33 supports this new processor ...
    and you' ll have to buy an upgrade ...

    or is it an "old" 16 F 876 processor ???

    Hi Alain,

    I have established that I do need a new version to use this pic. Not as pricey as I expected. less than 20 english pounds. If I can get confirmation of purchase from ME Labs that is. Although already having upgraded from PBC I will have paid a total of £320 for PBP (£500 if i cant get any proof of purchase). Not Happy!!!! Am asking myself if it was really worth it. Could have just percevered a little & learned to use assembly at a cost of £0...

    Regards

    Bob...

    I know PicBasicPro is not really given, but I can say one thing: I'd never been using pics for my model planes without it, The result is always as I hope ...
    Other Cheaper Basics do not offer so much functions and an open library like this;
    also Remember you can add the functions you write to the lib ... better than sub's.

    Great tool, no lost time in developpement nor debugging ...

    You pay for this saved time ... for NO BUGS , and for MPLAB entire compatibility ...

    Remember: on the web, things mostly offer you what you've paid for ...

    Thanks Alain, but i do have a uk distributor. Just need the proof of purchase from ME Labs, I cant find the original invoice. In the past you only had to fax them a photocopy of the manual front cover. But I guess there has been much piracy, so now you need a copy of the invoice...

    mmm, when i bought my Compiler from Reynolds Electronics in the past. Bruce was and he's still smart enough too keep track of his customer only by the credit card # used.

    In your case... you'll probably need to pay FULL $ for it. Or maybe you'll find it somewhere in a peer-to-peer place... BUT probably not virus free and complete.

    Good luck!!!

    hehe,

    if you're like me (in some case) you'll throw them away. Most of the time all my benchs (5 of them here) looks like the appended.. not proud but looks 'hard work in progress'

    NO THAT'S A REAL MESS!

    That looks like my bench!

    Have received my upgrade, and compiled my code. Great. Now my programmer needs updating. Have ordered a pic to do that with, will now be delayed another few days.

    These things are sent to try us...

    Regards

    Hello STeve,

    Nice FLUKE!! I love those Flukes...

    I have you ever tried the Fluke 123 scope?? if you think that Fluke 83? VOM of your is a tough scope.... Check out their Scopes... Worth every penny of it IMO.

    PS I don't think you want to see my desk...They would complain about too much weight / Pix ratio.

    Hi Dwayne, yep i already have a 123 scope. The multimeter on the picture is an Fluke 189. It's one of my favourite. I still have an old version of the 77 serie... many years ago now but still working. Few old VOM too... still handy for some cases.

    As scope i have Tektronik TDS 210, Tektronik TDS2000, Fluke 123 and a Fluke 190, 2 other BK Precision analog dual traces scope(20Mhz and 40Mhz), and a real amazing IFR COM120B for all my R.F. need... i know you know those IFR stuff. A yeah i forget... probably because i didn't use this since many years now, A REALLY OLD LAMP SCOPE tektronik Type 561A... i'll try to find it and post you a pic of it... 1Mhz or 5 as i remind... not too handy but still working. great to heat up the place or a museum... i still have the service manual... hehe

    Cool PIC16F676 Troubles

    Hi:

    The original message was "I am having trouble trying to use this pic. I have version 2.33 of PBP. This is the code:...." and more than 140 people have visited this.

    Isn't it time for some one to address the technical issues rather than use this forum to parade their antique hardwares and "messy" workplace?

    Or have we changed rules with the new user interface for non-technical musings?
