Sorry, forgot to mention one thing in my previous post. The best way to time your pulses is with the timer 0 interrupt (RTCC). That way, the display doesn't momentarily flicker when other interrupts ... |

Thomas Blake, would you care to elaborate on the "multiplexing" of the display? Maybe some code or something so that I actually have some idea what you are talking about :-)

I agree that a packaged DC-DC converter would be the cleanest solution, as long as it's truly packaged. If you make it out of parts it's more fun but you may have to do a lot more development to ensu ... |

The preceding comment was mine. I guess the "log me on each time" button is broken. Or something.

You're right! They call it mini-RISC and that's why I didn't recognize it at first.
Thanks! |

You can turn quadrature signals into tach and true direction easily enough with a flip flop. The real problem with mechanical encoders is that switch bounce can break the quadrature relationship. In ... |

Sorry, I do not have a schematic. What I am doing is driving two 7447 chips which in turn handle the output to the 7 segment displays. The annodes of the LEDs are hooked to my 5 volt source and ... |

Not specifically CCS - but - I've been thinking about canning all separate MCUs in my future designs and using the Xilinx MicroBlaze core instead. This is partly to be able to program everything at o ... |

Hi,
I'm looking for a copy (free or otherwise) of the latest header file for the 12F675. I have PCM v. 3.092, which supports the chip, but my copy of the header file omits a lot of constants.

Now I want it to save only the modified bytes, but it doesnt work. Only a test to verify if the data is different was added.
Why not use the CCS functions? Using CCS functions,

Forum: General CCS C Discussion Posted: Mon Jan 17, 2005 11:54 am Subject: 9th bit |
I've used the 9th bit for RS-485 using the PIC16F873:
#BYTE rcsta_copy = 0x0018
#BIT rx_bit_9 = rcsta_copy.0
Originally I did have a problem with using the 16F873.h file macros with PCM 3.092, ... |

Microchip has an emulation advantage over some other types because they make MCU package versions that bond out the internal signals. So a hardware emulator can be pretty cheap.

If you happen to be on Mac, use Douglas Layout Professional. I just finished an 8-layer card with about 950 I/O lines, using the 1mm BGA packages that Xilinx insists on using for their large arrays. ... |

For the record, a lot of i2c slave devices use the NAK as an indication that a read operation is complete. So while this is OK for 2 PICs it may be teeth-gnashing if you ever work with a chip like (s ... |
