    After all this time, Microchip doesn't satisfy me!

    I didn't get it. Firstly, how can this be solved with just about any PIC? I do agree that assembler provides a better control over instruction cycles and I do program in assembly when the application is relatively simpler to implement. But as far as I know, the problem I mentioned isn't...

    After all this time, Microchip doesn't satisfy me!

    Hi everybody. I've come to EDA Board after quite some time and the reason was I had more pressing needs to satisfy than the craving for embedded electronics. ;-) I recently started work on a data acquisition system for interfacing a custom made satellite ground station to the PC. The scenario...

    FIFO Hardware Buffer?

    Hi there... I have to use a hardware buffer in an embedded application... The buffer must be FIFO and >64kB... The data comes on a serial link at TTL level. Obviously, the buffer must store the data byte-by-byte and the on-board data handler then picks it up from the buffer on FIFO basis. It's...

    [SOLVED] EAGLE ERC Warnings! [Pins Overlap]

    Yes, that's precisely the problem, I think. I remember I was playing with grids at the time I had this problem. Thanks for mentioning.

    Identify the design software please?

    A picture is attached. I found it on web. Looks appealing. Can anyone please identify which software might have been used to design this schematic? Thank you. https://embedded-lab.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/StartUSB_Circuit.jpg

    3-pin AC connector - PCB footprint

    I was looking for an AC Power Connector to mount on PCB. I wanted to implement a power supply for my MCU circuit right there on the PCB. I had to search a lot, but in the end I did come across the right footprint. As a side note, it is found in default EAGLE libraries by the name of AC...

    Is there any other method of taking input from a keypad except polling/scanning?

    Yes! There's an idea. Timer interrupts (with high prescalar) can be used... And the controller can do something in the background. :) But don't you think a key-press could be quicker than 10 times per second? I mean have you seen the younger generation text on their phones? :p I would like to...

    Is there any other method of taking input from a keypad except polling/scanning?

    Because otherwise there is not use of using the interrupt method. I am using the interrupt method so that the controller can do something useful when it's not polling. If I don't always power the rows OR columns, there will be no interrupt unless I am running a poll. And in that case, the MCU is...

    Is there any other method of taking input from a keypad except polling/scanning?

    Hi there. I always wondered how the keyboards/keypads worked. I found out a while ago that it is nothing but a simple matrix of push switches such that each switch has one end connected to a common column line and the other connected to a common row line... What you can do is, poll either...

    [SOLVED] EAGLE ERC Warnings! [Pins Overlap]

    I am pretty sure that I did re-run it... Not once, but several times. I read somewhere that sometimes EAGLE gives stupid errors which go away just by quitting and restarting EAGLE. So I saved my schematic ("as is" in the picture attached to thread) and restarted EAGLE control panel. Then I...

    [SOLVED] EAGLE ERC Warnings! [Pins Overlap]

    I checked and there is not any overlapping of a symbol as well. But I have attached the schematic, nonetheless. Please guide. Be sure to comment if you see anywhere else the schematic is lacking.

    [SOLVED] DC Power Jack Symbol... What? How?

    Thank you all. I appreciate your help. I get it now. So the ^ shaped pin on the left is not a pin... The pin connected to a filled cylinder is ground and the rest two pins are connected together unless the jack is connected to wall socket. Right? And I need not worry about the pin in the middle...

    [SOLVED] EAGLE ERC Warnings! [Pins Overlap]

    So, the screenshot is of a schematic in EAGLE... EAGLE says I have pins overlapping in a certain area... I don't see any overlapping. Can anyone point out the problem please? Thanks.

    [SOLVED] DC Power Jack Symbol... What? How?

    Ok. I am not asking for a PCB footprint for a DC Power Jack since I have searched and seen a few members getting scolded over asking a stupid question which could easily be solved by searching. I already have a PCB footprint of a DC Power Jack. I am using EagleCAD and the schematic is confusing...
