EASYPIC4 Board Giveaway

I hope I have not confused you (or anyone else) with these explanations. Trying to put the concept into layman's terms is lot trickier than I thought. In technical terms the objective is:

To create 4 independently controllable, low frequency (0.5-8Hz) channels of analog signals (triangle waveform in this case) using digital modulation (such as PWM) with the LED's acting as a low-pass filter.

Now that sounds a lot easier to do, doesn't it?

Well actually I thought it was fine before.

Bert, have you made progress? Looks like no one else (besides Walter and yourself) has a solution for this contest. Do you (Walter, or anyone else) feel that perhaps it is too difficult and the contest should be changed to something simpler?

rmteo,

From a mutual friend (mathematical place holder) on another forum:

What you kidding me? it's not rocket science.

Four days to go - and it looks like there may be only one entry.

I just saw this contest now.


<---- darn tag under my name...

That is a very nice experiment board. I've been using the Lab X1 lately.

I thought the GLCD was misplaced but I found it so the development board is like in the 1st. post. It comes with a PIC18F4620 - you can use any PIC16F or PIC18F in 40, 28, 20, 18, 14 and 8 pin DIP packages. I installed a ZIF socket in the 40-pin position.

If anyone is interested, I have a PDF of the manual (it is too large at 2.5MB to upload).
