hi all,

i am new in PIC microcontrollers and i need to make a project which makes use of PIC18F97J60. the project is about i need to input some data in my laptop and the data must be sent to ethernet and then output will be displayed by leds.
do you have some ideas on how to do this? i am new in this topic and i was looking on the internet and find this Pickit2 for PIC18F97J60 but im quite confused how to use the Pickit2 i mean the pins are 64, is there zip socket like this?

im sorry if my question sounds stupid. but im really new in this area and need your help..thanks
 

Pik-Kit2 is for programming the Controller and debugging also..
See Pik-Kit2 Manual ..

Only 5 Connection are Required.
MCLR
VDD
GND
PGD
PGC

See this Circuit Diagram

for writing firmware you can use MPLAB IDE along with Hi-TEch C18 Compiler or MPLAB C18 Compiler..

As u are new to PIC i suggest u to use mikroC if your program is of small size..
 
THanks Arun...so i will put the 64 pin microcontroller on the breadboard with 5 connections properly connected to the pickit2 so that i can download the program to the PIC18F97J60 and then output pins of PIC18F97J60 will be used for the leds...am i right?
can you recommend some readings on this topic?. greatly appreciate your help. thanks
 

the pins on the 18f97j60 are spaced with 0.5mm ... you are in trouble to get them on a breadboard !
you've better buy a experimenter board like this : **broken link removed**
and then plug a mcu board like this : **broken link removed**
and then only start play with it... you will surely need a mikro c-pascal or basic compiler as programming ethernet things in assembler is really high complexity !!!!

if you still want to play with your breadboard, better use a pic18f2550 or 4550, and a enc28j60 ethernet chip they are both available in dip
and so easyly pluggable in a breadboard.

good luck it's not a simple project to start with, better try to light a led with usb, or serial com first, then only try ethernet !
 
thanks Kripton2035. this is exactly what i need the experimenter board. but the project that was assigned to me was to make use of ethernet and lighting the leds. do you have any idea how to start with this project, some guide and i will really study it. thanks a lot
 

download a demo of mikro c or mikro basic on same site - choose the langage you prefer...
then install it in the help files and the examples there are demos of ethernet things with the pics.
you have examples with the 18f97j60 and also example with the 18f4550 and a enc28j60.

here an example of a web server with that pic : http://www.ljcv.net/projects/picweb1/index.html
 
one more thing I forgot : you need their microprog to program the experimenter board.
the connector won't be ok with a pickit.
but if you buy only the processor daughter board, it wont go in a breadboard because of the 2 rows of pins ...
you need something like this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4G1IfYguQLQ
and the chip of course !

Kripton, i have a question are you trying to say that pic 18f97j60 capabilities can be done by pic18f2550 and an enc28j60? do you have schematic diagram showing how to connect them? and if i will use them what programmer can i use? do you have sample codes related to this?
i greatly appreciate your help. thanks a lot

the 18f97j60 has bigger programming space, but you can do quite the same ethernet things with the 2550 and enc28j60
again open the help files of the examples of mikroelectronica compilers c or basic and you have a chapter (in hardware) for
pic with integrated ethernet, and spi ethernet controllers. the programming examples are very close.
