Re: Multiple Servo Control

Hi Sean,

I have been using MultiServo2.fcf with 16F887 successfully.

How do i change the "Custom interrupt properties" for CCP1 and CCP2 so that i can use it for 16F690?

Do i need to change any thing else to make it work?

Thanks in advance.

Re: Wireless Serial Data Link

Benj, I am using V3 and have duplicated your example in V3, so far it work untill software reset part, it just hang the PIC (16F887) without resetting it, below is the C Code content from your example: - intcon=0; //Disable Interrupts option_reg=8; //Enable watchdog timer with 1:1 prescale while(1);...

Re: Reference voltage for A/D inputs

Benj,

16F887 datasheet says that there is a "Fixed voltage reference (0.6V)" in the device for Comparators
and ADC Module.

how can i set it as Vref for ADC using Flowcode 3 to get more resolution (for 0V~0.5V range ADC application).

Please help

thanks in advance.

Re: LOW BATTERY WARNING

Benj,

If the Vref is configure to VDD, the 2 resistor voltage divider will always be 1/2 of the VDD.

when we read ADC, we should read at around 127 (1/2 of 255).

don't understand why we can detect battery low with this method.

please explain a little bit.

Thanks in advanced

Re: Manchester Code

Benj,

The code looks very complicated, not easy for me.

I plan to use FSK ISM band TX RX module for the purpose of sending data, if do not use manchester code, will it be successful and reliable?

if you tried before please comment a little bit details/more

Manchester Code

Hi Ben,

I need to develop application using ISM Band FSK RF transmitter and receiver, understand that the data need to be Manchester Coded for reliable Tx and Rx.

Is there any easy way flowcode3 can do the coding and decoding?

Benj,

Earlier when i search for "watchdog" it returns only 1 hit, (that was during the time i can not post new topic).

now i do a search for "watchdog" it returns 170 hit. (and i found many info from there).
