Programming all PIC chips with PICkit 2

karenhornby · Jun 19, 2008

Thanks your a star I've been trying to find that info out for ages now reading all sorts but nothing actually says it can power the pic directly with nothing else needed!
BTW hope you didn't mind me modding your original pic, but I did leave your name on it so people knew where it came from

were did you get your breadboard power supply and the heatsink for it

The power supply came from **broken link removed**. I have three of them. Excellent product.

The heat sink came from the junk pile. No idea what I ripped apart to get it, but I had stacks of old printers, so probably that's what it came off. It's not really necessary for that power supply. I just wanted it to run cool, so...

Hey I like that breadboard Power supply! I think I will get one, or two.

I find I make sure I have two of everything, since I usually blow-up or use parts for something else. Always helps to have a backup...hehe

Cheers for the links and info,

Sweet - thats good to know!

I have a breadboard already...just briefly do you have a circuit diagram of what pins I attach to what?

I see in one of your photo's you have resistors and capacitors across the values from the pin as well....its just a bit hard to see what pin number from the PICkit 2 kit goes to what terminals on the PIC chip.

I suppose P6 goes to Vdd for starters.

Thanks,

Craig

the pickit2 starters guide has the pinot of the header in it

just use a 5 V wall wart from an old phone charger or something and put header/jumper teminals on the end that have 2.54 mm spacing so it plugs straight into the breadboard

Thanks - I just found that the other day when I was sorting out the ICP for my circuit.

source code for PIC16F887

Hi, can some experience help me with this very problem i am facing. i am trying to write a source code to generate a 200ms pulse at various interval, let say.. 5s, 50, 100..... using PIC16F887. I used the AD converter becos i wanted to use a rotary switch to control the frequency or speed.

i have only few days to make this work. i need to used this switch to drive a relay.

Can someone help me look at this code and the errors in it or better still help me debug or edit it. i have tried wit could not build. at an instance it did build when i started the program with

org 0x2100. but the Led did not light. i wanted to use the led to monitor the pulse time.

I tried to debug the code and i always recieve error

CORE-E0002: Stack under flow error occurred from instruction at 0x000005

Thank you

@iyke20024,
Please try the following code. I have now seen on MPLAB simulator, that the bit 0 of PORTD changes accordingly. Also a zip file containing the .asm is attached for ready use to finalise to your needs.

Hi serma,

The problem was because i used a linker file.

check the code below. It built, but did not output to PORTD. the led did not blink.

See, i am not too Good with this stuff, but i am learning everyday.

you can look at the code and try to debug it and see if there is something wrong.

Does the precedence mater. i.e setting up the timer first before converting from analogue to digital?

Hi,

Code:

	bsf	T1CON,0		;  [COLOR="Red"]bank 0, correct[/COLOR]
			 
	movlw	0xFF		
	movwf	ADCON1  ;  [COLOR="Red"]supposed to be in bank 1[/COLOR]
	BANKSEL	TRISA
	movlw	B'11111111'		; Left Justified, Vdd-Vss referenced
	movwf	TRISA		;  Make PortA all input
	movlw	0xFF		; we want all Port A pins Analog
	movwf	ANSEL ;  [COLOR="Red"]this is in bank 3[/COLOR]

And, shouldn't this to be:

Code:

	btfs[COLOR="Red"]c[/COLOR]	ADCON0,GO_DONE	; this bit will change to zero when the conversion is complete
	goto	$-1

you're reading the result register before the conversion ends.

does it really needs pull-down resistor? every time I program a PIC18F2550 without using pulldown resistor it works fine. XD
