Hello again, I think I've exhausted myself over this one. SPI is supposed to be REALLY simple, right? But, I can not get my SPI slave (PIC24) to do even recognize that SPI is happening at all. Here is the rest of the story: My project has two MCU's in it. A dsPIC30F3012 that reads the sensors and performs all the fun DSP stuff. It is the SPI Master and spits out data for the PIC24HJ64GP5...


Timing a 20KHz signal coming into a PIC 16F88

Started by silverfoxgmail in Piclist15 years ago 5 replies

I have the need to measure the duration of short bursts of a square or sine wave signal coming into a PIC 16F88 at a constant frequency of 20KHz....

I have the need to measure the duration of short bursts of a square or sine wave signal coming into a PIC 16F88 at a constant frequency of 20KHz. The bursts last between one and 150 milliseconds and I need the time measurement to be accurate to about a half millisecond. I was thinking of using an interrupt-on-change on the input pin and saving the time of the first interrupt and subtract it from...


18f4685 6 seg clock - dim display

if you look in the files section under sr_gamer you will find the schematic and the program for a clock I'm building. The display is VERY dim. I'd like the display to be very bright. These elements are very bright when supplied with 5v, which should be what is coming off of the PIC, so I'm either suffering from low duty cycle or having trouble sourcing enough current. I tried some 1k pull ...

Hi all, I have been researching the PIC24F, a 16 Bit PIC, and found that its voltage is 1.8V-3.6V. Well that's not to bad, get a 3.3V regulator or something, but then then i started thinking about LCDs etc, how do you go about interfacing them as they run on 5V? Has anyone used these before? Cheers, Paul

Hello. Can you program a 16Bit PIC in assembly like the 8Bit or do you have to use C? Thanks ------------------------------------

Hello, I've got a Pharos GPS-500 USB dongle on hand and I was wondering if it would be possible to hook this up to a PIC of some kind. When I plug it into my PC it is detected as a serial port by windows and the data just streams over as ASCII test. Anyone have a direction they can point me in? I've been looking at Microchip's website, but most of the stuff is on peripheral side devices....


A2D Command on KicChip 8

I downloaded the Kic Studio software as well as the KicChip 8 .hex file from the KicChip WEB page. I then used my PICKit 2 to flash the .hex file into a PIC12F683. They seem to set the security bit as I couldn't read the chip after programming. I then made up a PCB with a LF351 op-amp driving an analog signal to Pin 3 (ADC 4) and Pin 5 driving a LED through a 2N7000 FET. It's going to end ...

Hello, I just got my board built for my new dsPic project and I've run into a very puzzling problem with the ADC. If you all would be kind enough to take a look for me.

Hi all, I am using 16 bit PIC18F2420 microcontroller with a single USART port. I am using MPLAB C18 compiler. I was trying to achieve duplex communication on a microcontroller with a single usart. I am using external interrupts for that purpose. All was well until now. The main problem is that when I send a string or array of characters to the pic, the computer on the other corner receives e...
