    Aoyue 936 Soldering Station

    There is a review on Amazon that the iron on this unit gets to hot to handle after 10mins. Does anyone have one of these unit and is this true? I own a Weller WES51 and the handle never get hot. Other than that this unit has many good reviews and a great selection of tips. See...

    How to create PIC symbols in Proschematic?

    I just purchased Proschematic. Is anyone else using it? I was about to create PIC symbols and wonder if anyone has already done that?

    WWVB time code signals

    www.c-max-time.com I know that the CME8000 can be read with a PIC processor and in fact I have done a preliminary design. That isn't what I was asking. I was asking how much interest there is in such a project. Non the less, I will proceed with the design. For anyone who wants to do a one up...

    intefacing an LCD with pic16f877

    Down load Pic_Sim_Ide from Oshonsoft. This includes a basic compiler that has all the functions for interfacing a LCD module. When your program is compiled it generates an assembly language listing and you can see what was done. The PSI will compile up to a 2k word as downloaded but for 29 euro...

    WWVB time code signals

    wwvb chip I have been looking at using WWVB as a time stamp for data gathering. A company called C-MAX has a chip called CME8000 that receives the WWVB or the other time signals around the world and outputs a data ready, data and clock signal. This can be read by a MCU or PC. They also have a...

    Which CRC16 algorithm to use for CME8000?

    C-MAX provides a device to monitor WWVB and output the accurate time and date. signal. They also make a small pcb containing this device along with a Atmel processor , CME8000-BUS-LP-01. This device according to the datasheet requires CRC16 to be used in the command string but do not specify...

    16F877A serial communication

    16f877a usart The PIC has a built in feature to handle this. Look at the datasheet and the USART section. In particular look at the 9 bit mode. You would need to use RS485 multidrop communication. The 9th bit is used to tell the slaves that an address is on the bus. This method allows only one...

    C Programming with PIC

    Try "Embedded C Programming and the Microchip PIC" ISBN 140183748-4. Try amazon.com This book uses the CCS compiler but take a look at the SourceBoostC compiler.

    Simple project help me!!!

    Go to Oshonsoft.com and download Pic_Simulator_IDE. This software includes a Basic compiler which generates assembly and hex code. This code can be programmed into a 16F877A or you can use the Bootloader you will find on the site. Or if you like you can run a simulation. Try it it is.

    What are the major differences in PIC16F877 vs PIC16F877A?

    pic16f877 pic16f877a There is very little difference. Check the Microchip site. Though the 877 is still produced the price keeps going up since it is a legacy part. Even the 877A has now been superceded by the 16F887 part. MPLAB and several compilers support the 887 part, so you should look at...

    How to interface RS232 with PIC16F877?

    Use a solderless breadboard or a pcb from Olimex.com. You will need a 16F877A , St232A and a power source. For the power source you could add your own with a 7805 regulator and a wart. Check Futurlec.com or mouser.com for parts and datasheet downloads. Connect the st232A output/inputs to the RX...

    Beginner Microcontrollers

    microcontrollers beginners The best book is Embedded Design with the PIC18F452 Microcontroller by John Peatman. If you were to buy a copy it would wipe out your budget, but try the library. You could just get a solderless breadboard and wire up a microcontroller circuit or buy one of the...
