Hello everyone, I'm new to the group and I'd like to ask a question. I've recently moved all my projects from 16F84 to 16F628 mcu's. Yesterday I've tried to write data to the internal (on-chip) eeprom of 16F628 using PicBasic Pro with little (or no ;) sucess. Would anyone care

I did a little experiment this past weekend playing with the 16f628a- 04 and its internal oscillator. On one breadboard I put 2 16f628's with identical clock programs that display on an LCD. The only difference between the 2 16f628's was I set one up to use the internal oscillator

People: PICC Lite lists 16F627 but not 16F628 as a supported device. The include file, 16f6x.h has comments pertaining to 16F628 and a #ifdef referencing a symbol called _16F628. Can I target the 16F628 and use its 2K of program memory or will they prevent that?

Until now, I succesfully used 16f628's for my robot-projects. I use an el-cheapo parallel-programmer (SHAER) and use in-circuit-programming. So far so good. Yesterday I ordered 16f628A chips, 'cause they're a bit cheaper, and usually the 'A' stands for 'improved'. But after reading some a

How hard would it be to port a program written for the 16F84 to a 16F628? Any big changes need made? Or can I just recompile with new processor selection and appropriate changes in code for device type? Shawn

Hi all, I've got an issue. My ICD-2 on MPLAB 6.60 says that the programmer won't support the 16F628. The MC website says it will program it, but not debug it without an adapter. OK, since my IDE refuses to let me choose the ICD-2 as my programmer, it is obvious which way the w

I'm trying to write SPI Master code to send from a 16F628 to a MAX7219. Anybody got any example code? I've written what I think should work, but no luck so far. I have a logic probe and can see the MOSI, CLK and SS lines toggling away, but the 7219 doesn't react. A scope wo

I have C source for a project, it was written for the 16F84. I am trying to recompile using Hi-Tec to use the code on a 16F628 so I can add a few routines myself (the code uses most of the 84's mem space) but even after selecting the type of pic to compile for, the resulting HEX file

Hi, i am using "PIC Simulator IDE" from OshonSoft to compile and assemble my code for the 16F628. All is working fine. But I have got the problem, that when I want to have i.e. 50 Hz frequency output to one pin on port a, i never get the result I am expecting. I compute like this : clock frequency is 16 Mhz, so internal clock is 4MHz. If I

This is a weird one! I've added connections for in-circuit programming to my JDM programmer, and it works OK with a 16F88 on the target board. However, when I try to program a 16F628 on the same target board programming fails on the first location. The chip programs OK whe

Guys/Gals: I can't seem to get the tx i/o to flip. I could spend endless hours screwing with the hardware (since MPLab doesn't support serial functions) or I could ask the infinite intellegence (i.e., you the group) for direction. I choose the latter. He

Hi, I was working at my last project and found a problem so very interesting. My equipament used a 16f628 and i upgraded to 16f648a cause i required more flash memory. On step to write in internal eeprom, i realized that sometimes wrote right, sometimes not. After tw

Okay, so I can write into the PCL, and I can write into the PCLATH, and dependent upon the execution either an 11 bit or a 13 bit value goes into the PC (which is PCH and PCL). 11 bits is 7FF, 13 bits is 1FFF (I'm working with a 16F628). So it appears the 1FFF is the 2k fla
