Post by thread:%Introducing myself%

Hi! I'm a Spanish student of automation, and I'm 25 year old. One of my hobbies are electronics and I would want to learn using pic's. I've been reading in the Internet things about pic's for about a year but unfortunately i can't write a program in asm yet :( Last week I subscribed to this list and now I think it's the moment to introduce myself, so here is the mail :) As you can see, my english is not as good as I would want to, but I hope I manage to hardly communicate with you ;) Hope I could be of aid in this list. Regards Metis Adrastea -- He comentado ya que tengo un blog? O:-) http://metisadrastea.blogspot.com/

> Hope I could be of aid in this list. I you want to aid the list (instead of the other way round) I have a wish: create a webpage with your 'beginners experience' with a modern PIC, for instance an 18F4520 or (if it must be a 14-bit core) an 16F877A or a 16F88. But *not* a 16F84(A)!

But *not* a 16F84(A)! I actually write a weblog (in spanish, sorry) where I put my ideas and experiences. I started burning downloaded hex files into 16F84A's, but I'm now trying to learn how to proram using more modern parts, ranging from 16F684's and 16F628A's to 18F4550's. But this is still a wish, first I have to learn how to program in asm :) Regards Metis Adrastea -- He comentado ya que tengo un blog? O:-) http://metisadrastea.blogspot.com/

Perhaps you should look through the material in Microchip. http://techtrain.microchip.com/x14/ John --- Metis Adrastea <.....metisadrasteaKILLspam@spam@gmail.com> wrote: {Quote hidden}> Hi! > > 2006/2/1, Wouter van Ooijen <wouterKILLspamvoti.nl>: > > > Hope I could be of aid in this list. > > > > I you want to aid the list (instead of the other > way round) I have a > > wish: create a webpage with your 'beginners > experience' with a modern > > PIC, for instance an 18F4520 or (if it must be a > 14-bit core) an 16F877A > > or a 16F88.

It worked for me :) (I used to do PICBasic, but switched to ASM after a while.) I'd recommend starting with a member of the 16F87x family. 877 if you want more pins, 876 if 28pin fine, for example. They're mostly the same as 16F84, just more powerful. I myself have just started messing around with 18F chips, specifically 18F4550. Similar to 16F, just different banking model, without some of the annoyances (and with some of its own), and with new instructions. > As you can see, my english is not as good as I would want to, but I > hope I manage to hardly communicate with you ;) It's way better than others.

No eres el unico español por aqui :) Pues, conmigo, ya somos tres. Al menos. Bienvenido. Metis and Adrastea. Two little moons... of Jupiter. But, wait! Having certain relationship with the "greek" part of us, i hardly remember (...asking St. Google...) that's it! Metis was the first wife of Jupiter (Zeus), and Adrastea the daughter of Jupiter and Ananke. Interesting name :o) Salu2, Álvaro Deibe.

Hi! First, thank you very much for the welcome :) 2006/2/2, Alvaro Deibe Diaz <EraseMEadeibespam_OUTTakeThisOuTudc.es>: > Metis and Adrastea. Two little moons... of Jupiter. > > But, wait!

(16F684). Now I'm going to learn how to set up a timer for making an A2D conversion and maybe tomorrow or later I'll post a question about making comparations between variables and literals (i.e <,>,<=...) O:-) Regards Metis Adrastea P.S.- You all who can read spanish, be welcome to my humble blog :) -- He comentado ya que tengo un blog? O:-) http://metisadrastea.blogspot.com/

you can try the mplab a/d test program for 18f452 its simple and if you are ok with c it will be better you need 1 c18 2mplab with documents once u got the c18 inside mplab by checking the right box while installing c18(after mplab)you can use the example in mpalb manual takecare abby

Hi guys I just now reregistered as a PICLIST member. I was active here some years around the millenium change. One thing i did was www.piclist.com/techref/microchip/hrdrstsw.htm I have since not used any microcontroller and as I could not keep up wiht the bandwidth of this list i got off it a few years ago. I am situated in south end of Sweden, working mainly with industrial control systems, mostly special designs and mods, often pure analog or power designs, some mechamical work, some PLC and mini-PLC programming, etc... Now i am the system designer on an control system that incorporates a couple PICs. I do some mechanical design, functionality design, electric design and layout. The programming i have another guy doing as i have not yet learnt C to a useable level plus my time is too limited to do that part too anyway. I reregistered here to discuss some problems we have, but i will start separate threads on that. For now, -- Morgan Olsson

Welcome back. Still very wide bandwidth here :-) Russell

Do you mean that *you* couldn't keep up, or your *internet connection* couldn't keep up? :) I can't help you with the latter, but I can certainly offer some advice on the former, as at varios times (especially in the beginning) I too struggled with the sheer volume of information.

I have a faster connection now ;) > I can't help you with the latter, but I can certainly offer some advice > on the former, as at varios times (especially in the beginning) I too > struggled with the sheer volume of information. Well, i have now this mail account for PICLIST only - easy to filter spam. I used Eudora then, which was pretty good at filtering The mail program I use now for piclist mail is Opera - it seem to be very flexible and effective in searching in the email "database", and i only feed it with Piclist. But I must admit that the main problem is/was not the filtering, but that i kept reading the vast amount of interesting stuff regardless of the email filters... ;) > Vitaliy > -- Morgan Olsson
