Colleagues, I'm a big fan of CCS compiler, but for this project I have to use the MPLAB, becasue it support s Salvo OS. Here are my questions. - Is it possible to delare a Software UART in the MPLAB without a lot of coding? - Is there a good 3rd partty Software

This is a weird one! I've added connections for in-circuit programming to my JDM programmer, and it works OK with a 16F88 on the target board. However, when I try to program a 16F628 on the same target board programming fails on the first location. The chip programs OK whe

Has anyone developed software and/or hardware for controlling the absolute position of a stepper motor with a potentiometer? It has to be a stepper, not a servo. I need the stepper to follow the movement of a potentiometer shaft around a 180 degree axis. I work in PicBasic

I have a project that requires battery operation. I am using a Lithium Tadiran 3.6V 1/2AA battery for this project. I have an LED that is tied to PORTB.5 so when the PIC starts I pull this pin high and this never happens. Can someone point me in the right direction?

hi i can't enable picstart programmer. i got the message from the MPLAB v6.40 under PICStart saying that "Cannot Transmit. Please verify connection and retry the previous operation." Once its accedently enabled then after its never. i tried every thing like bau

Hi all, I am interfacing pic microcontroller (pic18f452) to FDC37c672 from SMSC. FDC37c672 has some UART and IrDA capabilities which I want to explot. It has an ISA bus interface. I am able to read the registers from the FDC37C672. But for some reason I am unable t

Having a strange problem with the timer0 interrupt. I'm trying to generate a square wave to send to data lines on a pair of servos (from parallax). I tried to calculate the frequency using similar methods I applied on the Motorolla 68hc11/12, but the frequency didn't quite wo

Hello All,   I am doing a project that involves the LCD as a count down clock. The clock would display the second and minute digit as control by a PIC16F84 PIC. The minute count down is working out fine with regards to the second decrement. But, the second decrement was dec
