Finally, I can program and run circuits right here in my room. Best of all, I can code in C! I'm using <A href="http://www.sourceboost.com/">SourceBoost</a> to program the PIC microcontrollers.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9118493-111952196201985143?l=whizrobo.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Whiz Kidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07773280088046800038noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9118493.post-1119462498883010812005-06-22T22:44:00.000+05:002005-06-22T22:48:18.886+05:00Finally, I have my own PIC programmer board and I have my two 16F84 chips working with BoostC compiled hex files. I was trying to make it work for several hours, until I noticed a special note in the datasheet which said that crystal selection should be Highspeed (HS) for crystals > 3.5Mhz and not XT. The table showed that 4Mhz should have XT configuration and I kept using that. I bought a new microcontroller just in case the one I had was damaged. Now I have two 16F84s. I need to make 16F877 work now, which is a 40-pin full-fledged microcontroller. After that, I have to make the IR sensor work for 1 cm range.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9118493-111946249888301081?l=whizrobo.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Whiz Kidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07773280088046800038noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9118493.post-1105048517998679812005-01-07T02:55:00.000+05:002005-01-07T02:55:17.996+05:00First post.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9118493-110504851799867981?l=whizrobo.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Whiz Kidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07773280088046800038noreply@blogger.com0
