Real simple just use a Arduino mini

Ai have no problem writing code for it

 

I've been researching your micro controller idea with the help of AI.
Would I require all the following to program the controller?

PIC16F18313	Your target microcontroller
PICkit 3, 4, or Snap	Programmer/debugger for flashing code
MPLAB X IDE	Development environment from Microchip
MPLAB XC8 Compiler	Converts C code into machine code (.hex)
Breadboard or PCB	For physical connections

How did “Any microcontroller” from my post #5 become PIC16F18313?

 

That’s what I was wondering the ardunio would be very easy basically no learning experience
And now with AI code is very easy
Nothing wrong with the pic though if you wanna learn the program yourself, I use them all the time but I’m just saying if you just wanted to get some lights going I’d do something already made and there’s tons of code for lead lighting and ardunio

My post #13 where I mentioned It was the one I used?

 

Hi,
I'm doing up failed fancy garden lights!
The chip that is cycling and dimming the colors is under a black blob. Is that a Chip on board?
I am unable to determine the details as the blob conceals any details that may be there.
Hunting through Temu/ ebay has not yielded any answers.
I'm only after 10 of these chips the rest of the components I have been able to source.
Does anyone have a clue as to where I may purchase these elusive controllers?

For RGB LED's color changing application, you can program and use a small microcontroller like Attiny13.

I would still favour the 8pin 16f18313, the latter has 3 PWM pin ability.

 

That is the route I went
Except I used assembly rather than C

Microchip isn't making that easy to do any more...

Why is that?
I had no problem!

 

MplabX and there's no assembler you can use XC8 but it not as easy to use its assembler

 

I use the recomended MPLAB-X V5.35 for assembly work.

 

It's at 6.25 now I no its bull but you'd almost need every detail crazy how there new breaks the old

Are there any boards with this processor? Can you mention the hardware part? Thanks
There are STM32F103 board clones for less than $2 coming first in my mind. Can use Arduino IDE to program it

 

I am not familiar with Arduino, I just use MPLAB-X to write the program and Pgm the IC.
You could use C I suppose if not familiar with assembly.
Ver 5.35 is still available

 

There's all kinds of existing LED driver firmware for ESP32 (if you want wifi integration) and Arduino boards.
