PWM function in 16F876 I/O Processor

Friday, August 29th, 2008

I have added a basic PWM service to the PIC 16F876 I2C Slave I/O Processor.  Here is the updated JAL Source and a Blassic program for the Router.  It reads the Analog input, and prints to the console or sounds a Beep using the PWM output. (more…)

One of the reasons I got the EeePC was so that I could have easy access to the internet when away from home.

I already knew that although getting a mobile phone to work with a Linux system is not always easy, I had read that several people had had luck using both usb cables and BlueTooth connections. (more…)

EEPROM PCF8582C-2

Thursday, August 21st, 2008

The PCF8582C-2 is a 256×8 bit CMOS EEPROM.  It contains less memory than some PIC Processors!  As have a few of these chips, I use them as a benchmark for the Router and PIC I2C interfaces. (more…)

Adding a Serial Port

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

Fitting a serial converter and lead insider the I/O Bus box gives us back a socket for other projects and gets the serial converter out of harms way.  Cutting a couple of I/O Bus tracks opens up even more options. (more…)
