Re: in the SR latch schematic what do R3 and R4 do?
I think I understand now, Roughly, I think it prevents a short circuit from being set up when the switch is pushed down. Sorry for the super basic question, I have a lot to learn still! Hi Cardflopper, The 10kΩ resistors (R3/R4) are pull-up resistors. These are used to set the input to the logic ga...

Re: S3E Lesson7
Is that in the "pin-planner" on ISE ? I haven't used it yet .... I prefer the UCF file directly. But i prob. have to try it , if not for else than to see what options i can give in the ucf file. Yea, modifying the UCF is a preferred way to do it: http://www.xilinx.com/support/documentatio...

Chris here is my implementation on the S3E Starterboard. ISE wasn't really happy , i got two warnings WARNING:Pack:249 - The following adjacent carry multiplexers occupy different slice components. The resulting carry chain will have suboptimal timing. Mcompar_ticks_cmp_ge0000_cy<12> Mcount_ticks_c...

Re: #7 Parallel Hardware [Post Homework Here]
Hi Bingo, Correct answers! I would add two simple comments [Question 1] We can even control process flow so that they can either both be serial or parallel with other processes. Like for example if we first divide down a clock frequency with a process and then use that slower clock signal to run ano...

Re: The advanced stuff
Propeller Source released http://www.parallax.com/microcontrollers/propeller-1-open-source But it seems a bit resource hungry if it can't be fully implemented on a DE0-Nano. Wonder if a Cortex combined with a cheaper fpgaboard wouldn't be as powerfull /Bingo Nice to get some more professional code ...

Re: Simple PIC USB Interface
I think it is a stupid question but I want to know that could I do USB Interface with the PIC 18F4620? Because I have to do a project about communication between SD Card and PC via PIC 18F4620. If this way is impossible, I will do with UART. :) Thank you very much! PIC 18F4620 does not have a USB m...

Re: pyro propeller clock
Hi, I have built the circuit as well as programmed the PIC. When I switch the board on, all LEDs come on and no clock is shown during the rotation of the fan. Can you suggest any solutions? Sounds odd. The LEDs should only briefly come on to spell out the initial clock message. Then they wait for a...

Re: Pin Planner problem
Sometimes, when I open up the pin planner window, i can't see the pin needed, just a message " MAX3000A, Cannot display Pin Planner: the current Compiler settings assign an AUTO device " , sometimes i can see the CPLD. Also, i was unable to change the INPUT location or OUTPUT location, wh...

Re: I can't read the schematics ...
OK, it turns out that I can actually download the PDF and then I can increase the magnification. However, in the browser it is unreadable (even on my 19xx*1280 monitors at work.) Yea downloading the pdf is the better option. The in-browser zoom sucks, at least the firefox one I was using. I had ima...

Hello,
Download & install the C18 compiler, connect it & make a project with it in MPLABX.
Then setup the configuration bits as appropriate for the PIC you're using.

Re: 27MHz 555IC Simple Transmitter & Receiver
But do u think that the range i am getting can be increased even furthur by some tinkering in this existing circuit or do i have to apply some pre-amplifier and RF Power Amplifier stages??? thanks! Hello, That is good news. I believe you can get more range by tinkering with the circuit. Some sugges...
