    Current measurement over one day long

    I need a scope also for other measurements, so I take two birds with one stone. I think I will choose the TDS2004C, it can be connected to the NI Lab View from tektronix..

    Current measurement over one day long

    Hi Klaus, thanks for answering. You are right, sorry. Current range = to measure a DC motor I need minimum 40 A, maximum is not really compulsory. Voltage range = I will always measure signals around 12 V, so the usual range on scopes I think should be ok. Timing resolution = I measure "slow"...

    Current measurement over one day long

    Hi all, I'd like to record (with a PC maybe it would be easier) the current consumption of a DC motor. The motor is mounted on a machine and he will perform his movements continually for hours, so we can see its power consumption. Since I want to see the exact trend of the signal, I need to...

    [SOLVED] pwm noob programming

    GrandAlf thank you for your suggestions. I declared the variable type as long. I didn't attached the complete code because I thought that this one was enough... But in the header I also declared the variable types..

    [SOLVED] pwm noob programming

    sorry, my fault... I thought the problem was somewhere else, but it was in the "count<500000".. 500000 is too much, about 40 minutes. sorry, problem solved !

    [SOLVED] pwm noob programming

    Hi all, I'm trying to use pwm with the "bit banging" method. I know it's not very efficient, but it's a start.. The code below has a problem, and I'm not able to understand what it is... I'd like to change the pwm value after some seconds, and so I start the pwm and after 5 seconds I call the...

    Microcontroller board

    thanks for the suggestion! The pic development board seems to be very promising! FYI on an automatic machine I want to take inputs from sensors and control outputs.. Nothing too complicated, simple cycles..

    Microcontroller board

    Hi all, do you know if there is on the market a complete board usable to take some inputs from digital and analog sensors and control outputs? I mean something like arduino, but with more performance and capable of more current and volts. It should be something ready to connect and program...

    Softune Workbench download - where?

    Hi, I'm looking for the IDE to program fujitsu microcontroller. I wrote to some supplier of the softune workbench CD, but it's a long waiting time to have it. Does anybody know if there is a download link somewhere? It's for free in Europe, so there should be no license problem I hope.. Thanks

    Alternative to 16f628a for interrupts

    Sorry, you're right, maybe it works better with a "while" instead of "if".. void led1() { while(counter1<blink_duration){ counter1++; PORTB.f0 = 1; // turn the LED on } counter1=0; PORTB.f0 = 0; // turn the LED off } It seems to work, however I need...

    Alternative to 16f628a for interrupts

    I'm really sorry but I didn't receive the notification for your reply... In the meantime I read some articles on delays, timers, multitask, and finally I tried to write something: void main(void) { CMCON = 0x07; // switch off comparators; TRISA = 0xFF; // set portA as inputs TRISB =...

    Alternative to 16f628a for interrupts

    yuvko, you can show me a short example of your idea? I don't understand it very well... I was thinking about a solution that allows to mantain the same schematic, no changes.. What about something like this? while(1) { if (PORTA.f0) // if there's a trigger pulse {...

    Alternative to 16f628a for interrupts

    thanks for the advice milesguidon, you're very kind. I'll think also to this solution, as soon as I have some free time... I'll be back to you soon ;)
