I just purchased the 3 axis Accelerometer board from Circuit-Ed in the U.S. I noticed that Diode D1 is missing from the board and the ADXL330 chip is getting 5v instead of 3v. Is this supposed to be this way? According to the data sheet for the ADXL330, Vs max is 3.6v. Do I have a defective acceler...

PIC16 and PIC18 have some important differences, although minor and easily managed in your source code.

The PIC18F252 is an almost identical functional and pinout match to the PIC16F873A. A much beter match than migrating to the PIC18F2520.

One thing that might be usefull would be a "Memo" line on the registration form that would be included in the title of the email with the key, so I could put a comment like "Acer laptop" and the email would say "License key: Acer laptop" I recommend to customers that they add a "marker" next to the...

While I have not kept up to date for any changes ifor the latest compiler HID/USB library changes I have skimmed some of DANY's material (in the forums in mikroPascal) on this subject on his website. Very useful and helpful information. He usually has his weblink in his posts.

HI Phil, Doing better today thanks..... until my next treatment in a couple days :cry: Maybe WORD(65536-3362) is better, keeping a positive value result large or small (0 to 65535). Integer is 16-bit number with the 16th bit used for determining the sign , - or +., of the next 15 bits. INTEGER cover...

I saw a comment by janni on another thread. Be careful when using negative numbers since they must be typecast properly. INTEGER is a word-size data type that has negative values.. Try casting your negative numbers such by using this form: INTEGER(-3362) This way the compiler knows how to manage the...

Maybe I should add another step to my simplistic approach. At least I've done this in the past with sucess. Go to your DEVICE MANAGER and find the installed USB devices and remove the mE 18F Driver (right-click). Then install a new PICFLASH driver using the compiler's installer. Don't plug in a boar...

Download one of the free compilers from mikroE and install the driver. The compiler will install the PICFLASH drivers perfectly. Just click YES when the window asks to do the installation for you. Works every time!

I have posted numerous timing code examples in mB over the years. Maybe this example will help you along:

Don;t expect good results using RB0 as an edge triggered input while also connected to other devices, such as the LCD. I suggest to not use RB0 and connect to one of the many other edge triggered inputs available on PICs such as the Timer0 or Timer1 external clock inputs, or CCP1 or CCP2 inputs in C...

Make sure your board is powered. No sound or signal when plugging the powered board into the computer is a sure sign of a bad USB cable, bad USB connectors, or dead programmer IC.... in spite of drivers. Make sure you're plugged into the correct USB connector on the EasyPIC board. Use only the one n...

The mikroE compiler GLCD library will likely not work with your GLCD due to the fact that the CS (controller select) lines are inverted logic, which works fine for their standard and popular 12864B model they sell.

A suggestion, one that I often recommend to customers who have PICFlash driver installation problems using the CD or by download. This seems to work without fail: Use the mE compiler installer to load the PICFlash drivers . Download the current version of mikroC for PIC, mikroBasic for PIC, or mikro...

Without your datasheet I cannot say with certainty, but they are probably the same quivalent function. The RS pin is the register select which tells the LCD controller if the value on the D pins is a Command or a simple number of other significance.

First, make sure that your GLCD VSS, VDD, Vee, and Vo pins match exactly the board's connector pins of the same name. Turn the contrast pot until you see the pixel area.

If that doesn't work then you will need to test the negative voltage output of Vee on your GLCD.
