Can anyone recommend a low cost Humidity sensor? I have been using the Sensirion Temp/Humidity but I am looking for a lower cost product to mount on my PCB. I do not need 0-100% for this application! Preferably low power consumption for the circuit will be battery powered.

Hi everyone, I'm pretty new to PICS, but will do my best to characterize my problem and provide as much pertinent info as possible. I perplexed as to what is going on with my PIC. I am using an 18f452 on a PICDEM 2 Plus board, and my own PCB that I milled.

Hello to everyone! I have read somewhere that humidity sensitive devices should have little moisture to burn/solder them on the pcb. I would like to know if there is a problem with humidity in general (working environment) or it is only not to emit water vapor and be destro

I would like to use SMT paste solder in syringe form for my modest PCB construction. I understand that this stuff has a shelf life which can be prolonged by refrigeration. My local distributer can supply this to me from Kester, but I need to buy 5 tubes at a time. The price per tube is

Does anyone out there know how to convert the proprietary files that ExpressPCB genertes into standard Gerber files. I made a very complex circuit board using the free software that ExpressPCB lets you use. They made a good board, but now I need to have quite a few made, a

Is anyone using a (freeware) printer driver that outputs to a tiff or bmp file format? I have created a test pcb so I can protoype my design with the 18f2550, I want to send it as a bmp to my usual paint package so I can add text / clean a few corners etc, and then I can also save it as a jpg thumbnail for a page I have set up on the web to document my (slow) progress. -- Lez

I recently won the PIClist (the other one) monthly design competition with a little USB prototyping PCB I designed. I've added the details (including a picture of the board) to my PIC USB web page: http://www.leonheller.com/usb/getting_started.html Olimex has just supplied me with my prize - three prototype boards. I've tested one and it works OK. The boards will be available from ...

I am having some kind of problem with the communications to the ICD2. When I start MPLAB IDE v7.60 with the ICD2 plugged in my computer's USB port and the ICD2 plugged into my pcb (PIC16F887), it connects OK, reads ICD Product ID, runs the ICD self test, passed, says MPLAB ICD2 Ready but continues to have the Busy led on the ICD2 blinking. If I click in the program window or around on ...

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 ...

I am new to doing hardware. I have programmed things in machine language before including device drivers. I feel very comfortable writing code in machine language. I have researched and pretty much figured out the circuit in my head but I want to make a schematic so I can show it to people who are more experienced in hardware to see if they can make suggestions and improve my design. Is the...
