Stephen518 Posted September 3, 2011 Report Posted September 3, 2011 I have a project that I think would be best served by a PIC. It wll require a 24 hour timer, a light sensor to detect sunrise and sunset. It will need to do a basic math function to determine how many hours of darkness there will be. The output would need to controll a relay with 120v output. I can build it if I had a schematic. I am not a designer nor a programmer. I need someone to help!!! If it can be done without programming a PIC that is an acceptable alternative. I have a flow diagram of the circuit completed. Quote
Hero999 Posted September 3, 2011 Report Posted September 3, 2011 The schematic will be the easy part. It's programming which is more complicated.I suggest you do some research into programming. BASIC is certainly the easiest language to learn and is available for most PIC MCUs. I sed assembler when I last had a go at programming a PIC and it wasn't that hard for me but many people find it difficult so BASIC is your best bet.THere seem to be quite a few BASIC compilers for PICs:http://www.google.co.uk/search?client=opera&rls=en&q=PIC+basic&sourceid=opera&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&channel=suggestAs far as I'm aware, there's only one completely free one (GCBASIC), all the rest have some limitations until you pay.http://gcbasic.sourceforge.net/ Quote
Guest remonx6 Posted August 1, 2013 Report Posted August 1, 2013 What does mean PIC ? please known me. i'm interested about it !!Thanks Quote
