Ok I a newbie and most tutorials on starting use the 16F84. I only have 16F88's at hand. Will the code required be hugely different or will the basics be similar?

I have been looking for a NTSC Composite Video Pattern Generator. A simple B&W is pattern is all I need. I just need to verify that my video input is working. I wanted to make a small pic based one and I have known about

All the examples I've seen for ICSP use a MAX232, but the PICAXE 18X, which is a PIC16F88, has a simple two-resistor serial interface. Any reasons why I can't use the resistor interface for PIC ICSP? Mike

I need explanations to understand the meaning of this. PIC16f877 has a register SSPCON and the four LSB are the configuration I2C. If are '1000' means i2c master mode but if are '1011' are i2c firmware controlled master mode. What is the diference btw them? In the tru

I have a weird issue. I've used the hardware I2C on the PIC 16F77 with no problems between multiple chips using 2.7K to 4.7K pull up resistors very successfully. However when using the 16F877A I'm finding that I2C isn't reliable at all unless I use 22K to 47K pull ups. Weird huh?

I am building a optical tachometer for a gas turbine. I would like to try my hand at PIC programing. I have programed AVRs in the past and feel its time to try microchip's line (mainly because I got some samples from them ;-) I already designed my board layout and intend to use a

Hi, Recently i tried to make pic16lf877a work on 3.3V but with no result. The pic is working fine on 5V with 4 or 10 MHZ. But when I use another 3.3V voltage supply it does not work neither using 4 MHZ nor 10MHZ. Is there something I forgot when programming the PIC? Any ide
