Hi, Maybe deserves an RTFM response, but I've just spent an hour on this with no success. I appear to be trying what the various advice notes suggest, but it isn't working. I'm declaring data memory space (starts at 0x20), up to now have been doing it clunkily as follows: REG1 EQU 0x20 REG2 EQU 0x21 But with other platforms one usually declares the locations themselves, as ...

After getting my feet wet with a small photovore robot, now i want to experiment some more. Previously I was using a crude programmer that i built myself, but i'd really like some debugging features. Sparkfun has the olimex PIC-ICD2 ( a drop in replacement for the Microchip In-Circuit-Debugger 2 (ICD2)) for about $95.. Does anyone have any experience with this product? Does it work as...

Hello: What is the latest RTC code anyone could recommend for the PIC (16f) family? My requirements are simplicity and low power, with LCD display and perhaps RS232 interface. Is the Microchip AN582 as good as it gets? Thanks, TomC

I'm trying to get started with C programming on either one of the PIC microcontrollers in MPLAB IDE using C18 compiler (or any other C compiler that Microchip makes), however, I'm having some trouble drafting a source code that has, for example, LEDs flashing or display a "Hello World" message through printf() and in such fashion that I can see it on a host computer. Does anyone know any good...

Hello, I currently have an ICD2 from Microchip. I use it to develop PIC16 code using the MPLAB debugger and assembler. I need to move to the PIC18 parts and C language, but I am struggling figure out the development tools to get. Do you have any experience with the CCS compiler running with MPLAB and ICD2? ($175 solution) Thanks, Talal

Hello, I'm a new bee to PCB design and trying to layout ENC28J60. I didn't find any layout rules for the device in microchip website. Can anyone share what rules need to be followed for routing? If you have image of design which has been already routed, it will be helpful. Regards, Sriram

I've been working on a PIC programmer for my 16F88. So far I've met a mild degree of success, but I've run into a strange roadblock. I think it may have something to do with my reset routine. The Microchip documentation is... well... lacking, to put it generously. I've used the 16F88 Programming Specification document up until now, but I'm finding it more and more difficult to uncover spe...
dsPIC 1024 or 2048 FFT?

Hello, I'm programming a dsPIC33 that has 16384 bytes of RAM. I'm trying to figure out if I can do a 1024 or 2048 FFT with this device. The code examples and twiddle factors provided from Microchip only allow lengths up to 512. Does anyone know if longer length FFTs are possible on the dsPIC33? Thanks, Thomas Magma

Wow!! What a difference from the old Microchip simulator. The speed improvement is night and day, and the new logic analyzer is very handy. I'm having a few problems with the Logic Analyzer settings though. The triggering doesn't really make sense to me and it won't let me enter anything into the Trigger PC test box. Also it only has one selection for the Time Base but the documentation say...

Hi all, we're trying to solve a complicated task. We have to choose uP' family for our next generation's products. Since now we disperse a lot of energy (and money of course) in different system equipped with: - infineon C167CRLM - fujitsu MB90545 - various microchip - some atmel (AVR) - some TI (don't remember partname) Mine product are something like PLC. To be more precise, produ...

Hi. I'm trying to understand the Pic32 (a decade of familiarity with Pic16 and Pic18). I got myself an Ethernet Starter Kit. The demos run, and I have been able to edit them. So I tried to get two stacks working together. I then proceeded merging the TCPIP demo and the USB MSD demo. The latter just looks for a pendrive and when it sees it a simple text file gets written. The TCPIP integ...

Hi, I'm going to be doing some PIC32 development and I'd love to do it under linux if I'm able. We have a PIC32MX and the Microchip ICD2 "hockey puck" JTAG. I don't care so much about an IDE - I'd rather build my stuff using emacs/gnumake. But what I need are: 1. A cross-compiler/assembler/linker that runs under linux 2. The debugger. Keep in mind we also have the MPLAB software ...

I understand that some silicon vendors provide a PID on request such as Microchip, unfortunately I can't see that ST have this sort of policy. What do people do here rather than pay $5k per year for the privilege of 'owning/renting' a VID/PID combination? I have come across MCS Electronics who sell PIDs for a withdrawn VID. -- Mike Perkins Video Solutions Ltd www.videosolutions....

I am just learning about Microchips's bootloader capabilites. What is not clear from any of the documentation I've read is whether the chips with bootloading capabilities ship with the bootloader firmware installed. Some posts in this group indicate that you have to add the firmware yourself with an ICSP, which of course requires a hardware programmer and the corresponding software. This m...

Any clue ? Sebastian.

I've got a very basic question guys, I'm teaching myself C using Microchip's C18 compiler. I've got my main loop running, looking for certain conditions to occur, receiving a serial command & processing it. I need to monitor a few things for a time out condition, to do this I'm pre-loading Timer1 with the required values and when the timer overflows it jumps to the relevant interru...
