You are wise to dedicate a PIC to this function. Have you tried a busy loop instead of an interrupt. A tight loop that tests the status of an input might be faster and simpler than an interrupt driv ...

I prefer C# to VB because of the C like syntax. If you are putting semicolons on the end of lines in your PIC programs, you may as well do the same in your PC program. Laughing

That and numerous other s ...

Have you programmed a PIC before? They don't have much in the way of stack or ram, therefore it is common to have more global vars than a larger chip or a PC would. You cannot fit too many pages of ...

I agree about the CCS IDE, who needs it? MPLAB works well and it is free, how can you compete with that? I also agree that the CCS has very nice libraries and example code that save a lot of time. ...

Do you have the header file for a 16F883 or 16F886? I believe those are the same chip, just with more memory. Check the data sheet.

Thanks for the suggestions. For now, I have moved on to other issues, and I am not actively working it. Serial communication was just a convenience item, not necessary at this time. I was just cur ...

I was getting garbage characters on Hyperterminal, smiley faces and what not. Sometimes it would work properly for a short time. I did have it set to 9600-8-N-1. I also tried 2400, 1200,300 and eve ...

I suspected that is what you had to do. I have had the same problem and I haven't fixed it yet. The internal oscillator seems to hold time very well, well within 1% when I measured it. But I still ...

I haven't had a problem with the bus getting stuck recently, but I do have the WDT enabled just in case. It is not the nicest way of getting unstuck, but it is better than nothing.

I may end up ...

I just learned something about the #device ICD=TRUE statement. I did not include it and the compiler mapped one of my variables into a reserved area of memory for the debugger. My program was behavi ...

I am using the hardware I2C...

Does any info from this thread help? http://www.ccsinfo.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=38091&highlight=i2c+16f886

I had to add some short delays in strategic places. I also started with Ex_Slave.c ...

What did you change? Did you have to add an oscillator?

Like this?

Congrats, it is a lot of work to get all that working reliably isn't it. I spent a solid week on my design with a master/slave board system. At first, it was not hot pluggable. By the end, it recov ...
