So from the sounds of it, I am going to assume that the 16F887 is a good choice for a chip. If I still have problems after I receive them, I will let y'all know. Thanks for your help!

So I am still getting the same error message, and I do not know why. May I ask what you are using to program and debug your chips? Are you using a PICkit 2 with the ICD header? I ask because when I lo ...

See that's the thing, I have only been working with the exact same PIC. I got started with PIC through contacting an author from N&V, and he said I should start with PICs and told me to start with ...

So I read the relevant material, but I guess I should have mentioned one thing first. I do not actually have the PICkit 2. I have an equivalent programmer from Could not open the USB port. Device not ...

So I started writing some code to see if I could get this to work, and then headed on over to MPLAB to try my hand at watching the ADC values change in debug mode. I successfully got the project to bu ...

Well it wasn't a fault on your part. I can take the blame for this since I didn't express my novice experience from the beginning.

I didn't mention a specific MCU because I thought that all PIC MCU ...

The multiplexer is NOT an A/D converter. Analog signal sources connect to the Sx lines and the D line connects to an A/D built into the uC or that you provide.

I know that much. I was s ...

I know all of the signals are wired to S1 -> S16, but what I am unsure about is where the other end is suppose to be connected; Ground?

And that is definitely a big help with how to actually rea ...

Hey Guys,

I have never used an analog multiplexer before, and I am slightly confused with how you read the individual channels. The chip I am using is the http://www.maxim-ic.com/images/qv/1002.gif ...

UPDATE:

This is solely FYI. Since getting the MAX7221 to work and playing around with it, I decided that I would take that chip out and try the MAX7219 for sh1ts and giggles. Well, apparently whate ...

I finally got it to work correctly!!!! I have no clue why the difference in the resistor made such a huge impact, but it worked! I thought that it would have worked no matter what, except it would jus ...

Thanks for the capacitor tip. I'm not sure if it will smooth power out or not since my programmer (which is seconding as my power supply while trying to get it to work) has all that built in, but it d ...

Okay, the image is pretty big; so here is the link to it: http://img530.imageshack.us/i/max7221setup.jpg/

The chip on the left is the PIC16F684 (with programmer connected), and the right is the MAX ...

Part No: 339-1SRVGW/S150

These are 5mm Bi-Color LEDs, common cathode

That's actually what I am doing. My whole design is based on using discrete LEDs instead of 7-Segment Displays.
