Need a PIC 16F877 for 2 motor connect to VB serial

vb6 + 16f877

I need a PIC programming that control 2 motor using PIC 16F877,
I use a VB as a Interface, Please Help Me.....

printer motor

Hi,
What kind of motor you want to control? Do you have some idea about how to control the motor using a micro controller? What do you plan to do using VB? You can interface 16F877 to PC through Serial Port of PC and VB supports serial Communication. Do you know how to implement serial communication using VB? In which area are you seeking help from this Forum?, please clarify.

final year mechatronics projects

thanks for the reply. you are my savior!
1.first answer i'm try to using a printer motor.
2.then i 'm try to control the motor using PICF877 which is i really dont know anything about PIC program.
3. i try to apply an application of cutter machine which is motor1 is place on x axis and motor2 is placed on y axis. this is what i;m try to do as my final year project.
4.Vb is using as GUI(graphic user interface) which is means user can can enter the number or coordinate of x and y axis.
5. right now i'm searching a serial interface circuit to connect the pc and my PIC 16f877. the circuit is already done but the PIC programming is none.
please help me with the programming of PIC

The no. that you enter in the GUI will have to be downloaded to the PICmicro based card through the serial port. The serial interface to the PICmicro can be done using MAX232 or any other equivalents + 4 caps.

The received coordinated have to be processed in PICmicro and the motors positioned.

You will have to be more clear and specific about your requirements.

Cheers

using vb for pic

Dear Maharaja,
This is what I expected reading your first post. Yours is a typical Mechatronics project of medium complexity and as a remote consultant I can only advise you how to go about the project if you want to complete it in a reasonable time.
1. Project Team Composition:
Your minimum team should consist of an Electronics Engineer, a Mechanical Engineer and a Software Engineer. The elctronics engineer can handle the circuits and some programming of the Microcontroller, the Software Engineer will take care of PC software and the main programming of the system and the Mechanical Engineer will take care of the overall mechanical design of the project. Needless to say that it should always be considered as a team work and everybody should keep others informed about why and what of everything he does. You should also have a local project guide experienced in the field of Mechatronics.

2. Detailed Activity Chart for the Project:
Just as you have explained above, you should identify all the activities involved in the project and along with a time schedule, the activities should be divided among the members.

3. When you should consult a Forum like this:
As you proceed with the project,you might get some doubts about certain technical matters and then you can approach such Forums to clear doubts in a specific area. The Forum members also will be glad to help in such cases, because a simple guidance or suggestion made to a person seeking for an answer will reach him effectively with least effort, otherwise a person who try to help will only find a blunt reaction from the other end.
So my sincere advice to you is to organise your project properly, staring with the composition of the team, and then as you progress, you can look for ouside help in specific areas only.
