[PIC] pwm with powerbank conflict

[ruben91]

hello everyone, recently i have programed an ultrasonic detection system with pic18f1330 to detect obstacle, i want to make it portable, this i have make use of powerbank
But the problem arise when i use 2600mah the output is not as i wanted but if i use 10000mah the output i s as i wanted, can anyone help me regarding this, tq

Hi,

The problem surely is not the mAh but more likely the voltage. Maybe the voltage drops and also maybe caused by pulsed current.

For us it is not possible to find the error source, because your description gives only a few (unrelated) data.

It sounds like "i have a car type XY, it works good when i drive to city1, but it has an error when i want to drive to city2"
What we need is a detailed view on your circuit: schematic, voltages, currents, timing. Other related informations like code, pcb layout, pictures, scope screenshot....and very important: a detailed error description. "...is not what i wanted..." is no information for us, because we don't know what you want, and what is not like you expected...

Please try to give more information, so we can better assist you.

i'm sorry for being silly and not providing he accurate info, by the way this is my circuit, and basically my project is ultrasonic ranging system.

Hi,

in your circuit i can´t find any power supply capacitor. Use a (at least) 10uF electrolyte or tantalum and add a 100nF ceramic capacitor. Especially the cerami capacitor should be connected with short and wide traces to the VCC and GND of the PIC.

For future projects use a GND plane.

Still don´t see "what doesn´t function like expected"

hello sir, wat i meant was, i am using HC-SR04 sensor, and the output i expected is when distance between the ostacle and the sensor is less than 75cm, the buzzer beeps fast, when the sensor is placed in between 76cm and 120 cm the buzzer beeps at moderate speed, and wen the distance of ostacle and the sensor is in between 121cm and 170cm, the buzzer beeps at slow speed and wen the distance is more than 170cm the buzzer shud not beep, this is what i meant by my expected result, it works fine when i connect to my laptop usb and on 10000mah battery, but the buzeer wont stop beeping even the distance is more than 170 if i connect to 2600mah power bank, help need pls
