    Flow Chart Software? C Programming

    I've never heard of a structure diagram :rolleyes: Do you have any examples of one? I'd like to adopt a professional planning method when writing my programs, instead of making it up as I go.

    Can anyone recommend some good software for creating flow charts? Would be nice if there's one suited to C programming.

    programming microcontrolers

    I think its important to learn code from the ground up, so you can understand whats happening. Any programming language you learn will help you understand the logic behind other languages, then its just a matter of getting used to the syntax I learnt the basics in assembler first, before...

    program pic16f877a for ds1307

    You do not need to learn the entire datasheet, but just familiarize yourself with the basics and how the relevant registers tie in with each other. I would learn about the relevant registers first and which commands to use to set each register. I've listed the relevant ones below. The...

    program pic16f877a for ds1307

    I would advise you to read the datasheet for the ds1307, if you haven't already: http://datasheets.maximintegrated.com/en/ds/DS1307.pdf The ds1307 uses the Synchronous Serial Port (SSP) Module. It operates in I²C mode and is connected too the PIC using the SDA and SCL pins. Assuming your...

    Help Programming 16x2 LCD - PIC16F73

    Hi Minder.. I finally got it working. The problem was hardware related and somehow I was not getting +5V when switching my RS, RW and EN pins. This might of had something to do with the pins being on PORTA. My code was pretty much OK! Here is my working code: #include <htc.h> #include <pic.h>...

    Oscilloscope Help

    Thats exactly what I'm trying to measure.. uA's. I measured a current draw of less than 1.4uA on a digital multi-meter. I was hoping to confirm/verify my results. Somehow the lines have disapeared and i can now see a continuous signal, but I still can't see the difference when i connect the...

    Oscilloscope Help

    Hi Guys, I'm trying to measure a small signal change when i connect a 9v battery to a remote while nothing is pressed, to see how the remote discharges the battery when sitting. I cant seem to get a good signal on my oscillate and there seems to be a lot of noise. Any ideas? See a pic...
