This is a very good site for beginners. It has several small projects
along with tutorials, schematics, and source codes using Microchips. http://www.sq-1.com/eptoc.html ----- Original Message ----- From: "oi2all" <> To: <> Sent: Saturday, September 18, 2004 2:26 AM Subject: [piclist] Best books for a PIC newbie? > Any recommendations for good PIC programming books? > > Also, are there any really lame books I should be sure to > avoid? > > > to unsubscribe, go to http://www.yahoogroups.com and follow the instructions > Yahoo!

Hey... I think I know who this guy is! I bet he is the same Dave Benson (K1SWL) that designs QRP Amateur radio gear.... I noticed that he always puts a tiny processor onto his boards to create stuff like CW keyers,frequency readout..etc I just looked at one of his QRP morse transceiver boards (The 20 meter Rock-Mite transceiver) and it has a 12C508A on it to serve as a keyer and deliver audio feedback via morse about the settings of the radio. It's just gotta be the same guy... he is a genius for sure! He sells a 27$ 2-way radio that has a processor on it and can communicate thousands of miles. (The Rock-Mite) Funny he fails to mention his love of PICs on his radio web site.. http://www.smallwonderlabs.com/ --- In , "Bill Davis" <wdavis@t...> wrote: > This is a very good site for beginners.

Hello martin, Saturday, September 18, 2004, 4:09:09 AM, you wrote: mdl> There is only one best book on pic #8217;s mdl> #8211; Mike Predko www.myke.comprogramming and customising the pic Excellent book! I built programmer based on PCB from that book. It's working (after fixes from myke.com web-site) and program PIC16F84, but it can't program PIC16F777 (it is not in the list of supported devices), but I plan to use it. So, there is a question: may I try to program it as "PIC16F77" or "PIC16F877" for example or it may destruct the chip? Thank you! -- Best regards, Alexander mailto: |

It is hard to say if it will work or not without comparing all the registers. If you do a compare of the two uC’s make files you will see what the diffreneces in memory and resources are. It is not likely to destruct the chip if you make sure the hardwire is wired for the appropriate 5 pins needed for ICSP. To hit the ground running I would strongly advise you to buy a pic kit ($33) or Pic start from Microchip

I plan to compile src code as for PIC16F777 and program it as PIC16F77 - they look similar for programmer, I hope (I saw their dev-files from MPLAB), excluding 2 bytes CONFIG in 777 and 1 byte CONFIG in 77. -- Best regards, Alexander mailto: |
