Brads Electronic Projects Forum

Hi Everyone... Been a while..... Just wondering if any one has any experience with outputting sound. I am working on a small project for the kids, it basically entails in a certain event a sound will play - like various farm animals (Eg. moo, dog barking, etc) I have done a little bit or research an...

Thanks heaps Brad and Gav.... I will order the pin header right now. Brad I understand exactly what you mean now, excellent explanation. Now I just have to get my head around the assembly language which is slowly starting to sink in.

Hi Everyone and thanks for everyones replies to my last posts.... Fixed my soldering wows by running out and purchasing a bread board... :D I was hoping someone might be able to expand on the explanation of the need of the 10K resistor. In the explanation there is talk of an in-between state of the ...

one other thing I do now with some of my projects is use a IC socket,. Thats a brilliant idea Gavin... I am going to order one right now. I think I've managed to break another one as well... Its strange everything was working great I had reprogrammed it heaps of times and then I tried to reprogram ...

No thats brilliant Stacy I was actually wondering that myself and what you have shown makes perfect sense. By the way after making the change to the settings in MPLAP to the correct chip everything worked fine and had my led flashing in no time. Assembly is sure a steep learning curve compared to ot...

Hi Gavin.... Thanks heaps for your reply. Mate after going back and properly reading the first tutorial your right I didn't change to the chip I'm using :oops: .

Hi Guys... Sorry for being so gung ho and then disappearing :oops: . Firstly it took a while to get all the equipment I needed and a few other issues came up. Sorry for being such a noob but I am stuck on the second tutorial :? . Before I even hook up the programmer or any of the circuitry I open MP...

Hey thanks heaps for that mate... Will probably take me a week or so to get my hands on the hardware side of things anyway. I live in remote Australia (Emerald, Queensland) so it is generally hard to get your hands on electronics although with the internet now there are no excuses. I have the picKIT...

Firstly>>> Thankyou Brad for this great tutorial :D I am a total noob when it comes to microcontrollers. In the past when I've tried to look up info on the web regarding microcontrollers its been a little daunting and I've shyed away from it however seeing this true beginners guide to pics has given...
