    push button on-off and more...

    Wouldn't it be more practical to use a logic scheme more like this... ButtonPress: Sensor On ButtonPress again(<1sec): Mode A ButtonPress again(<1sec): Mode B ButtonPress again(<1sec): Mode C ButtonPress again(>1sec): Sensor Off 1sec is much longer than you think. Each period (......)...

    Varactor tunned loop antenna

    After looking at your schematic it occurred to me that you have excess components in there. The shell of the SMA should be committed to GND so there's no need for the resistor and choke that you have there. Take a look at how I re-drew it. Chris EDIT: Also be aware that Varactors are reverse...

    Varactor tunned loop antenna

    Make certain that you're using a 10x low cap probe. Also make sure that scope GND is not connected to any node that is not also GND. I.E. you cannot connect scope GND to any node above GND. Regarding DVM's: In the days of VTVM's the positive probe contained an integral 1Meg resistor. The...

    MPLAB IDE - AutoComplete

    Angus, I'm glad I could be some help. I'm also just getting my feet wet in ASM and MPLAB. The water is very cold and quite deep! ;) Chris

    MPLAB IDE - AutoComplete

    For MPLAB v8.92: Right click on the code editor window, select properties and then the "Tooltips" tab. The Auto-Complete options are at the bottom of that tab. Chris

    need a little flip-flop help!

    I hope that Harald's suggestion fixes your problem but as an aside note there's nothing "discrete" about a 555 or the 74LS109. ;) Chris

    Radio Receiver Circuit.

    Are you aware that this statement roughly describes (MCW) Modulated Continuous Wave? Though I doubt that you intended it too. Chris

    PIC emulator software

    Here's another site that's worth listing... http://picprojects.org.uk/ Which links to... http://picprojects.org.uk/projects/mplab/mplabhowto.htm There's no emulators there but it seems structured well and answers a number of questions I wasn't clear about. Particularly, the roles that MPLAB and...

    Interesting that he responded to your email. I wonder why my questions posted to the pic book forum are still in limbo? I assume only I can see them and that's only because the book forum identifies my cookies. Regarding Colin: I searched member's threads and found quite a few posts with you...

    Are you saying you received an answer to an email? As for Colin... I didn't make the connection. It really is a small world! Chris

    PIC emulator software

    Ha, good luck with that! The two posts that I made there are still sitting in the "Awaiting Approval" bin. I fully expect them to stay there for eternity. That said I do appreciate the efforts that were made there. It just seems like it was some time ago and the board activity and book...

    PIC emulator software

    Well that wasn't the only software that I downloaded. I also went to PlanetSourceCode and downloaded the VB app seen in the attachment. The VB developer that wrote it evidently didn't believe in using white space or code indentation. This has made it exceedingly difficult to read. I've spent...

    PIC emulator software

    OK, after hours upon hours of frustrating myself I've concluded that using this app as a learning tool is about as as fruitful as shoveling sh!t against an incoming tide. IMHO this app is not useful for anything other than running the developer's included examples. The help files describe how...

    PIC emulator software

    Yes, I believe that ASM nubes (that's me too) would benefit greatly with the addition of an animated chip. This is simply a graphic of the chip that changes pin color as the pin state changes. Most spice apps do this. The software that triggered this thread is an example. I'm still working out...

    PIC emulator software

    Thanks Kris. I appreciate that. Yes, I like Mikrobasic. I have a copy of the 'Basic' software. They're very well documented and their graphics are outstanding. Hi Bob, Yes, I can't argue those points. I just found the latest version to be a bit overwhelming when struggling through learning...

    Kris, that sounds good to me and thanks for offering. How does "PIC Emulator Software" sound? Thanks! Chris

    PIC emulator software

    Do to the lame title I've given this topic I'm going to create another one and post the screen shots there. I want to play with the app a bit more before I start that new topic. This way I'll know some its quirks and possibly be able to answer questions if there are any. When I post the new...

    PIC emulator software

    OK, here's an update. After Googling "JAVAW" it turns out to be JAVA. That PIC app requires JAVA to be installed on the system. I've already done that on my old XP machine and despite the warnings at the start of the install (that this version of JAVA is not designed for XP 32b), it installed...

    Hey, I just got back from my ride and it did me good. Thanks for the link! I emailed him immediately. Yeah, if I can get it working it looks to be a nice clean app. I managed to open some of the files within the studio and the interface looks sweet. Chris World record holder. 68 year old guy...

    PIC emulator software

    Some months ago I posted that I was going to attempt to lessen my dependency on Picaxe and move over to PicBasic. Since that time and after reading copious amounts of PIC articles I decided to bypass Basic, C, C++ or any other language in favor of ASM. It wasn't long before I came to the...
