Colleagues, Until now I've only worked with the 12, 16 and 17-series of PICs. There doesn't seem to be a clear and simple explanation on Microchip's website of the dsPIC series, in terms of what they are good for and when you would use them in preference to the other families. I wonder what specific strengths and weaknesses they have. Could anyone elucidate? Thanks, SteveT ----...

I am building a optical tachometer for a gas turbine. I would like to try my hand at PIC programing. I have programed AVRs in the past and feel its time to try microchip's line (mainly because I got some samples from them ;-) I already designed my board layout and intend to use a

I have been trying to use the 'read data EEPROM' feature of the 16F88, but can't get it to work. I have used the sample code from Microchip's datasheet. Attached is the (entire) ASM file that I am using. It should (I had hoped) store the value h'BB' in the regist

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....

Colleagues, I've just started using OrCAD (switched from ExpressPCB). I was surprised when I found that neither OrCAD nor Microchip supplies the libraries for the PIC18 family. Does anyone have libraries for PIC18? Is there a place one the web to look for OrCAD libraries? Thanks! Nick

I've adapted a C version of a PSK31 data encoder to Microchip assembly language for the PIC 16F87x micro and made a few improvements along the way. Hams (and others) may find this device or simply how it works, to be useful.

Seems like MICROCHIP can't make up their mind on whether the PIC18 TBLPTR is 21 or 22 bits wide... some places in the datasheet it says it is 21bits, other places it says 22bits. I'm having trouble simulating this stuff. The datasheet

Hi, Folks! I read the ED article in file "1 pin Keypad.PDF" posted by dave_mucha, and compared it to the "4x4 Keyboard with 1 Input" tip in Microchip's Tips & Tricks guide. The latter has far fewer components external to the PIC. Has anyone met with good success using the method in that tip? The device I am designing will use a 4 x 3 keypad, with a layout similar to a Touch Tone telephone....

This group has been way too quite for too long. I thought I'd liven things up a bit by asking a question. I would like to use the on chip A/D converter in a Pic 16F887 and I have some Microchip MCP1541 4.096 voltage reference devices. I need to be able to measure voltages up to around 18 volts. If I use a voltage divider that divides the input voltage by 5, I could measure up to 20.46 volts. So fa...

I've been looking at different PIC BASIC compilers. What I am looking for: - Performance (efficient code) - ICD (in circuit debugging) - Good support for a wide variety of MicroChip MPU's So far, I am considering the following compilers: - PIC BASIC PRO (seems like their ICD is limited to a few chips?) - mikroBasic (built in ICD support) - Proton PIC Basic (http://www.protongeeks.com/...
