Thanks for the advice

99% of PIC's can't do this.
If fact I doubt if any can.
The USB device needs to connect to a USB _host_. There are a few PIC's with this ability the USB 'OTG' devices. However the device then needs ...

I have a USB microscope and a set of these new virtual screen glasses. The microscope runs with the standard Windows drivers and the virtual screen has an AV input.

After a lengthy search I could ...

This dsPIC30F2020 has actually given me so many headaches i.t.o. instability when running at 30MIPS that I will definitely consider changing over to another PIC

As a member of this forum for many years I am aware that there are many highly skilled electronic engineers here.

I simply don't have the time for my latest PIC project so I registered a developmen ...

Interesting idea. Will give it a try.

Thank you for your advice!

"Why not clamp the spike, into a capacitor that is discharged while the coil is being energised" ... I am not sure what you mean by this. Is it similar to the first schematic on http://datas ...

@Ttelmah:

I use the Differential Diode Protection method as described in figure 4 - http://www.maxim-ic.com/app-notes/index.mvp/id/4035

R(limit)= 10MOhm
Diodes= 1N1418

I use 6 diodes in seri ...

Thanks a lot for the advice everyone ... I am really overwhelmed with all the ideas.

@Ttelmah: With regards to your point 4: I do clamp the back EMF of the coil. This voltage is actually what I am ...

You don't say exactly what you are doing, but I would consider using a transformer to step the mains down to a lower voltage (also provides isolation). Mains (110 or 220) can kill you and you want to ...

I'm using a PIC to interface with a 220V power supply.

Something went wrong and 220V flew through the PIC, blew my PICkit programmer and laptop that were connected to the PIC via USB.

I used si ...

I got the sound card running but now I want to move to faster sampling.

dsPIC30F2020 can apparently do 2MS/s but I scanned this message board and it appears that 30F2020.h is either not properly co ...

Thank you for everyones inputs.

I'm going the route of using a PC sound card for A/D conversion.

Thank you bkamen and Ttelmah.

@Ttelmah: I need at least 3 readings during the 30 micro seconds sampling period. Further, 8 bit resolution will unfortunately not be adequate accuracy.

It appears ...
