Welcome to Talking Electronics PIC
Programming Course.
This course covers the exciting world of programming PIC microcontrollers.
(Programmable Interface Chips). The two devices we are covering are PIC 12c508A
and PIC 16F84.
Before starting this course you should have a good knowledge of basic
electronics - especially
connecting pick-up devices to the input of a microcontroller.
If you are
starting-out, you should go to our BASIC
ELECTRONICS course. It covers the design of transistor stages (Interface Stages) needed to
connect transducers (pick-up devices such as coils,
microphones, glass breakage detectors, etc) to PIC micro-controllers.
Once you know about Interfacing, you can go to
PIC
Theory section (covers the programming of the two PIC chips),
then the PIC Projects section, where you will find lots of
applications for these amazingly versatile chips. The first PIC project in this section is a
Logic
Probe with Pulser and then a
5x7 Display project.
You will also
need our Multi-Chip
Programmer to burn a PIC12c508A for the Logic Probe. We have just
designed an "add-on" for the 5x7 Display, an
"In-Circuit" Electrolytic
Tester and are presently in the process of preparing the article for a
'508A Dialing
Alarm. All the
software for the projects can be downloaded via .zip files: 5x7
Display Experiments.
The software for the multi-Chip programmer
is: IC-PROG, (it's
500k!)
see also: IC-Prog
help-line and IC-Prog
message Board
To compile your .asm files to .hex you will need: MPASM.
All our projects
are designed to teach you both
the theory of how the circuit works and how the program
for the microcontroller works.
Never before has so much detail gone into a set
of projects. After you build a few of
them you will have a good grounding
in
the basics of designing and
programming.
Kits are available for everything and it's just a matter of getting started. NEW
BOOK
15th July
I am in the process of putting all the theory in the Library of Terms and
Routines into a 400 page book with 4 main projects plus a number of other
articles. This is a major undertaking and although most of the information is
available on the website, the convenience of having it in a single reference
source is driving me to complete the task - mainly because I want to have it as
a reference source myself. In the process, the work is being revised, updated and corrected.
The book will be published by TAB books and will cost US$24.95 It is still 2
months from completion, then two more months for publishing and printing.
I will let you know when the release date comes closer.

Things have happened!
30th
September 2001
Some
radical changes have occurred recently. I have been asked to start a
new e-magazine for
POPTRONICS
called
POPTRONICS Interactive
Edition. Read the full details in the
Newsletter.
After one year of writing for the site, I have removed my services
and started my own interactive site:
TALKING ELECTRONICS
Interactive.
The arrangement
was quite simple. I was to provide an interactive site for the
largest paper magazine in the USA - POPTRONICS. All
they had to do was put an article in their magazine each month with
a link to the site so the remainder of my detailed projects could be
downloaded from the web.
I sent them an article and
waited. I sent them another article and waited. I sent them another
article and waited. I waited one year for a response!
Not once did they reply!
The next thing I heard was the collapse of the magazine
POPTRONICS!
How could you fail to be successful in the largest country IN THE
WORLD?
Since I have not had a reply from the projects manager or the CEO of
POPTRONICS, I have decided to put all my projects on my own site:
TALKING ELECTRONICS
Interactive.
I have finally taken my own advice. Do everything yourself and don't
rely on anyone to do anything for you.
I
think you will like my new site.
All the best
Colin.
