The Pros: It’s color and it looks good even at steep angles. Getting a simple Hello, World app running is trivial. It’s engine is a PIC18F26K20! Oh, the price is pretty darn good. Buy 500 units (~$1000) and they’ll tweak …

OK, this is for the PIC18F2550. It should work for most, if not all of the PIC18’s, with a few minor changes – Like the TRIS outputs. It will not work with the PIC16’s. It will not work with the …

The LED flashes approximately 150ms every 5 seconds. RC1 (pin 9), triggers the LED. Interestingly, the PIC consumes 28uA at idle, no matter which method is used. Compiles with Microchip’s XC8 (v1.38) Delay function, 28 bytes Timer 0 delay, 31 …

This isn’t a magical cut and paste example. YOU need to do some work. Why? There are a number of Vishay thermistors, all with different properties and I don’t know which one you have. The values included here are for …

This example demonstrates a high priority interrupt on the PIC18F2550 and MPLABX 3.40 IDE with the XC 1.38 compiler. Make sure YOU remove the spaces WordPress throws in, if not your compiler will whine. Sorry, I can’t assist if you …
Below is a 16-bit Timer0 example for the PIC18F2550 using the XC8 1.38 compiler. I’ve included two examples: INITCONbits and straight up INTCON. Why? Well, In one project, the XC8 compiler bitched with: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microchip\xc8\v1.38\include\pic18f2550.h:8051: error: (1098) conflicting declarations …
