I am developing a system that is powered from a 12V or 24V lead acid battery configuration on an industrial engine. These are the same lead acid batteries used in vehicles. The batteries or battery will always be charged by an alternator running off of the engine. Is it possible to get a run signal just from the battery? The PIC24F microcontroller being used needs to be able to tell if the engi...

Howdy, What input capture mode is best for capturing a servo PPM using a PIC24FJ64GA002? I need to capture every edge (ICM2:ICM0 =3D 001), but then the time between two captures isn't necessarily always the pulse I am looking for....it might be the 18ms "dead time" between pulses. I wish I could set it to capture the falling, then rising edges and interrupt on the latter (my polarity is rev...

Hello, I am bringing an RC servo signal into the input capture module of the PIC24FJ64GA002. The RC receiver outputs a voltage pulse that has an amplitude which approximately tracks the battery level of the receiver. Therefore the servo pulse-high voltage can be up to 8volts and can sag down to 4 volts or so. Which of these options is the best design practice?... 1) Put a 10k in series ...

I'm working on a system using a PIC24FJ256GB106. One task it will be doing is monitoring the battery level of an industrial engine that charges one 12V or two 12V(24V) batteries with an alternator. These are typical automotive batteries. The PIC also has to keep track of when the engine goes from on to off or off to on. Is there any way I can get an engine on/off signal just from the level of ...

I've been looking at the PIC24 and PIC32 compilers from Microchip lately. These are based on the gnu toolchain. Their PIC24 compiler works for a month in a full-featured manner, and after that it goes down to a "student edition" that has most optimizations disabled. Once you pay megabucks you get them back. I initially thought this wasn't a violation because I assumed they wrote their own ...
