A discussion group for the PICMicro microcontroller. Also called the Microchip PIC, this list is dedicated to the use and abuse of this fine, simple, microcontroller. Close to topic posts are welcome, ie. general electronics.
Those of you who are amateur radio operators (like me) would be
particularly interested in my completed project.
Thanks to all of you who helped me out with Assembly language a...
Jason,
you asked for 5V out (source) at high current, and there is just no way of doing that.
If you just want the LED to light up it is probably more common to do as you sugge...
The output load consists of an LED in series with a current-limiting
330 ohm resistor. At the time I decided on the PIC16F72, I didn't
realize that pin RA4 had such special, str...
With your help in my work on a microcontroller-based SWR/wattmeter
I've been working on on my own, I've learned so much about
microcontrollers despite the fact that I never used ...
Jason,
Sure you're not, the very first time I used the ADC I found that none of the A/D combinations
in ADCON was a perfect fit... No problem, just moved the digital data to avai...
Jason,
The PWM (analog output(s)) have dedicated pins, and you can't move these around.
And the A/D options available in ADCON is what you have to play with... no way around this...
For the PIC16F72, I'm using pins 0 and 1 of Port A as analog inputs
while ALL of the other pins (rest of Port A, all of Port B, and all of
Port C) need to be digital outputs.
...
To get a digital output, you set its corresponding TRIS bit to '0',
set the ADCON configuration bits to an appropriate value (so that it
is digital and not analog), and then set ...
I am having a rough time with the breakpoints in MPLAB 8.10, using
MPLAB ICD 2 as the debugger. The debugger will often stop at the line
after the breakpoint, but sometimes ri...
I'm using MPLAB to simulate a 16F72. For some reason, TRISA, TRISB,
and TRISC are not updating. The Watch window shows that they do not
change at the moment they are supposed t...
