PIC programming may seem somewhat boring while learning.....but when we learn the basic and walking onto the road of advanced.....feels just good,,..
I wanna tell you, I'm not a advanced now, but i'm learning pic's in C on my own though it's lots of better than ASM.......and from gooligum elec.'s midrange prog. in C tutorial..
but to turn down my boring feeling and to increase 'attaractivity' to myself, I decided to do some small PIC based other's works or project....though i don't like copy-paste...but i decided to do that...
I built a 16F84A based LED sequence .... lots of smaller than the CMOS version....which people made with NE555 and CD4017.
Then I built a 16F628A based digital clock on 16x2 display..........but after couple of hours the time increases by about 3-4 hours and it keeps jumping
....i can't find any suitable reason behind that....but i think it may be due to the power tracks and the 4MHZ crystal's 'crazy' oscillation.....I don't know ya clear
anybody? oh...but after restart is works well for sometime......
Now I made a USB based IR reciever for PC...
its
How-to: USB remote control receiver - Hack a Day
Look out!!!the circyuit is easy......though the hex file is named 18F2455.hex....indicates that the hex file is for 18F2455 though i burned ir directly to 2550.....it works...the computer detects it as a 'CDC emulation device which was a microchip's application note' it adds another COM port to the PC......
But the problem here WINLIRC can't detect the device and not even responding........any other software ie uICE, Girder isnt working either..........
I'm using TSOP1356 in place of TSOP1738............I think they both're same....they both pull the output to ground in presence of IR.............
So anybody??can anybody tell me the root of the problem>>>>
ohhhh!!i forget to tell they used two 0.1uF caps in parrael to the VUSB pin.........but i'm using a 0.47 uF...will it cause some problem??
