I try to make an asynchronous serial communication between PIC16F628 and notebook USB port. I use USB-RS232 converter and MAX232 components between PIC and notebook. PIC can send data to notebook. It is OK. But when I try to send data from notebook to PIC, it is unsuccessfull. It runs with desktop computer. I think there is a problem between USB

Hey all, Need some help in my latest endever. I am trying to drive a MCP42010 digital pot with a Pic16f628. I have read all the data sheets and still stumped. SPI on the MCP42010 uses CS(chip select), SCK (serial clock), and SI(serial date input). Which pins corospond to these on the PIC? Is it right in front of me?? LOL Thanks, Smitt

Hi all, I am new to pics and was hoping someone would explain some of my options for writing code and downloading it to the mcu. I have used Interactive C for my Handyboard and I have a little Turbo C experience but haven't done any assembly language. I have seen many programmers for sale on the internet and have downloaded MPLab IDE from microchips site but

Colleagues, I've just started using OrCAD (switched from ExpressPCB). I was surprised when I found that neither OrCAD nor Microchip supplies the libraries for the PIC18 family. Does anyone have libraries for PIC18? Is there a place one the web to look for OrCAD libraries? Thanks! Nick

When using the POT command in PicBasic Pro to read a potentiometer, does the pin that the potentiometer is attached to have to have ADC, or can any I/O pin be used? Thanks! Scott

Hey all, I am working on another R/C project and need to be able to adjust a 5K 3 wire pot via Pic. I have been looking at digital pots and see that they have 2 types I2C and SPI. What does this mean? I just need to be able to adjust the pot via a Pic from 0-5K with no fancy extras. Can someone help me? Thanks! Neil Smith

Hi all, I've been googling for a set of utils to create a bin file from the hex files then take the new bin and go back to hex. I've found lots of hex2bin/bin2hex for old intel hex files but none for the hex32 format. Am I missing something? What do you use to deal with this? thanks, DLC

Hi,   I wonder if any of you guys could help me out a bit. I am trying to hook the PIC16F877 to AD7730 (ADC loadcell controller for Analog Dev) thru SPI.   I set the AD7730 to work in continuous conversion mode, monitoring the RDY line once data has been updated.   I am having problem getting the PIC to
