Hi,
I have followed the fantastic instructions on
http://www.instructables.com/id/The-One ... ith-conve/ to build a pov display. However, I could not get hold of a PIC 18f4680 microcontroller so I used the PIC 18f4620. Everything seems to be working fine but when I display something, designating in the code PIC 18f4620 and using Config OSC = INTIO67 no right to left scrolling occurs the image is just static.
I would really appreciate any help.
Thanks!

That does sound very strange. I don't suppose you could upload a photo of what you do actually get?

Sorry for the late reply as I was moving my pov display to take a picture I knocked it off the desk! Will get back to you as soon as I have fixed it!!

Hi Brad, while I was rebuilding my pov display I suspected that the hall effect sensor was not working properly ( cheap off ebay) so I bought a better model of sensor the Allegro A1203. All is now working well and the image is scrolling!
I would like to thank you very much for taking the time to post a great project!
On to the next one!

Interesting... I bought a bunch of 7805 regulators on ebay and they were all bad. Well that is, I have only used 5 of them and all 5 are bad so I suspect the whole lot is bad. I am not willing to build circuits using the rest of them!

Great to hear that it is working!
Things are very quiet for me at the moment as far as electronic projects. I am knee deep in programming for the iphone - Once I have my first app out there, I should get back to some good 'ol pic programming

I almost have my first app finished. It's not even close to being as extensive as your's, but I'm learning a lot. Honestly I miss programming in assembly!

Ahh the good 'ol days of assembly!
Life was so much simpler back then

Yeah, I guess you could say you have been disassembled!
