I had the same problem and it was pissing me off so i spent a bit of time working out what was wrong. Turns out J2 jumper MCLR pin had a bad connection i fitted a new bridge to it and hasn't missed a beat since

Hi all been trying too work out how to implement daylight savings time on a solar pump controller iam designing and would like to ask if anyone on here can offer advice on what code i need to add to the below program to make it auto adjust time for daylight saving? Basically the system controls a re...

Thanks Paul your bit of code is a lot more complicated than what i am trying to do. The piece of code i posted works i was just wondering if there was a more compact way of writing it that was all but thank you for your help

Hi all i want to control a relay to run a pump on solar over summer and am using a Pic16F877A ic with a RTC2 real time clock. I just want to know if this is the simplest or easiest way to write this section of program as it does do the job but im sure there is a simpler way? does one of you guru's h...

Hi just after some advice i need to run a water pump from say September to April between 8.00am to 5pm on solar and the rest of the time normal power ie i need a relay to turn on during the months and time selected. I have RTC2 running with a 16F877A with 8mhz xtal. My problem is i can't work out ho...

Hey Andriod thanks I built my router 3mtr x 1.2 mtr and plasma cutter 1.2mtr x 1.2 mtr myself i use Mach3 software to run them and Bobcad/cam V27 to do the drawing and generate machine code. I also use Estlcam as it is a brilliant little cam package for generating holding tabs etc. With the plasma I...

I have found that you first have to space bar to the position you want the indent to be then everything you tab after that will be at that point, if you want to change the indent then i have to space bar to where i want again before tabs will work properly. I think what you are all trying to say is ...

Ok so here it is modified your code slightly Android and thanks for your help in simplifying my awkward code. The pics are of the finished item I cnc router cut the front panel as it can't be laser cut due to health issues (Chlorine gas), The black on white and red on white signage was cut on my cnc...

Thanks will try on easypic v7, I should have mentioned tri state leds are 2 pin only and you simply reverse the direction of portc and d to change color. They are working very well. I do appreciate your advice as as it helps me better understand.

Thanks Android Iam using tri colour led's and port d and c to switch between red or green, green is normal run ie float is active as water pump is running. PORTA.RA2 is the dialer trigger and is held active high so that if the Pic-Ready1 board dies in any way the pin goes low and the dialer rings ap...

Just for your information I worked out that what I wanted to do could be done in few lines of code and it works perfect. Deleted most of the above code and came up with the following. This program constantly monitors portb and outputs corresponding red led while holding dialer pin ra2 low. It is way...

I don't know why but when I compile this code with
== in any of the code it doesn't work ie if(portb.f0==0) I have to use if(portb.f0 >=1) in order for it to work?? anyone know why?

the inputs are all active high and go low when a fault occurs, its not critical once an alarm has been activated that it doesn't do the rest until the alarm has been rectified, as it has to send a signal to a phone dialer as soon as the 5 second delay is up. there is 20 inputs all up which iam sprea...
