    Dyslexic Data sheets reading

    Hi H, We're getting there :) I've been round the houses and back today, names have been changed, but the trail led back to my existing programs, where some settings in it need changing. I'm using an 18F46K20 PIC and in it's D/S is SSPSTAT ans SSPCON1 where what was called CPOL CPHA is now called...

    Dyslexic Data sheets reading

    Hi H, My project has developed over a few years, and I have only been able to get this far, by using forums like this. Along the way I get valuable help form people such as you. I was previously helped get 2x PICs to 'talk' to each other and it was advised that the SSPBUF method is used over...

    Dyslexic Data sheets reading

    Hi H, I previously used the Oshonsoft SPI set-up (works ok) I now want to improve the system and program the sequence manually. In SSPBUF AN #6, on the right second line it shows 0x58, which isthe I.D. of the peripheral, so the analyser etc is working, but as you say 'race conditions' show that...

    Dyslexic Data sheets reading

    Hi H, The attached [4 wire] is for setting up 3 or 4 wire mode. Which says [is determined by the value of SCK after the CSB falling edge]. How is this determined? See attached [SSPBUF AN] Does this give us a clue, it is a digital analyser view of the SPI signals. C

    Dyslexic Data sheets reading

    Hi H, Before looking at the D/S again, here's a quick answer. I use 4 wire SPI communication. What should I look at first? I noticed the [output is stable] note in the D/S, how do I program for this? I have WAIT commands if needed. I understand the READ WRITE BIT 7 setting. C.

    Dyslexic Data sheets reading

    Hi H, I think these are for Arduino, so perhaps in 'C'. I can only read BASIC, so struggle a bit with them. The Arduino libraries that you point to, are for the same device, so somewhere in there will be what I'm looking for, thanks. I doubt that I can navigate to find what I'm looking for, so...

    Dyslexic Data sheets reading

    Hi, I'm a bit dyslexic, and sometimes have difficulty reading Data sheets. I'm trying to understand how to set-up a BMP280 Barometer sensor, using it's D/S and at each setting e,g, SPI READ WRITE, I can read each section manytimes and not move forward. Is there anyone who can help me please...

    Hot air gun plug standard

    Hi B, That's the one! I still have to reverse engineer the pinouts, unless anyone knows what they are? C

    Hot air gun plug standard

    Hi M, Easy done. The station has a wire but not socket (I'm about to fit one) The new gun, has a plug, and has the heater in the handle. Once I get it all fitted, I may be able to check a new heatgun, by resistances on the plug, without taking it apart. Cheers, Thanks for your help, C.

    Hot air gun plug standard

    Hi M, It's called Mark Ethan rework staion, but I don't think it is a genuin one, as the ones, I search for aren't like it, so no real information. It appears that I'm going to have to open up new guns and check they are the same as the socket, I'm going to fit. I wonder why the ones I've seen...

    Hot air gun plug standard

    Hi M, Thaks. I reverse engineered the new one I've bought, here: Femail The one I'm replacing, has no plug/socket. I've now got to reverse engineer that and wire it the same as above. My fear is, that I could buy a replacement, and it not being the same=POP. C.

    Hot air gun plug standard

    Hi M, Re-work type, as the fan is 24V it may be 24V, but I can check. The plugs are the aircraft type. C

    Hi B, This is a very old thread, and I was only clarifiying, the pendulum. I used 2x opto outputs, into a PIC, which then drove 2x servos, 1x on the horizontal axis, and 1x on the forward backward axis. I used this method for a while, then a 90 year old, asked me why I don't simply use gravity...

    Hi, I've just re-read this thread, and can see I wasn't good at explaining. I hope this sketch clarifies things a bit more. It works quite well. The pendulums are out of clocks. They are balance wheels, with all but one spoke (Pendulum) cut out. C

    FST3253 Switch clarification

    Hi H, Thanks. It looks then that they will most likely be ok. As I have them, I'll give them a try first. Cheers, C.

    FST3253 Switch clarification

    Hi, I'm using a FST3253 Switch for switching 3x different RX DATA signals, into a RX PIC. I would like some clarification please. If OE1 and OE2 is connected to GND, is it ok to switch using only S0 and S1? All of the PCB, DATA and PICs are 3.3V, the FST3253 requires 5V. Is it ok to use this...
