Dear All

I need your help. I try to begin my work with microcontroller. As last post I try to follow lesson on http://www.gooligum.com.au/tutorials.html but I have no pic 12f509 so I use 12f675 instead. After I write code as follow

;************************************************************************

END

And I build it success as follow

The question is that when I compile it to pic and I try to construct circuit to light on the led It still not work. Could you advise me on such problem?

Thank

 

did you program the hex to the pic? I only see where you compiled and converted to HEX. But I do not see that you wrote the HEX file to the PIC. Did the pic program successfully?

Which PIC hardware programmer are you using?

Are you attaching the led and resistor to the GP1 pin you have set?

measure your output pins with a meter and see which ones are putting out 5v and which ones are 0v. Measure with the red lead, and put the black lead to ground.

 

sorry I confuse saying that I used pic12f675 infect now I just have pic 16f876. First I try to use pic12f675 but I use picket2 programmer so there is no device selected in baseline from this programmer so I try to use pic 16f876 but I don't know much about this pic 16f876 cause it big large especially oscillator part.
I'm sorry with something unclear I'm saying to you cause I just start to curious with microcontroller. But I just want to start the simple project with my picket2 programmer applying with MPLAB for my beginning. So hope you can help me to overcome this difficulty.

Thank

 

You need an external oscillator on that PIC.

 

One thing to check (since you have enabled the MCLR pin) is have you pulled up the MCLR pin to Vdd via a resistor. If MCLR is configured to be on then without MCLR being pulled up the chip won't work.

 

I just re-read the thread and now I am totally confused.

Just which PIC chip type are you using?
Does your code match whatever PIC will be used?
Does it compile without error?
Can we see the code to match your PIC type?

Also PICkit2 can in fact program the 12F675 but you will find it in Mid-range devices rather than the Baseline.

 

I use pic 16f876. And the code as following

I use programmer picket2 to compile to pic 16f876file:///C:/Documents and Settings/Sovannarith/Desktop/untitled.bmp. And after compile it highlighted that: Programming Successful.
But when I try construct hardware it doesn't work, led not on on portC

 

The code do not match the 16f876 at all. In order to understand your PIC MCU, you must get an overview of the MCU architecture. You should download the data sheet for this purpose. Have you done any PIC work before, are you familiar with topics like bank switching etc? Also what do you use as clock source?
You have a PICKIT 2 and that it is good start.

 

Sorry as I'm just a beginner of using pic so I try to read many books but It bit difficult with real practice. So could you give me some code for using pic 16f876 with picket2.

Thank

 

Do not worry we have all been new sometimes. Can you please download this document http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/30292c.pdf Then go to section 12 SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE CPU. Then let us start with the topic Oscillator Configurations. What have you connected to the OSC1 and and OSC 2 pins

 

If you decide to go back to the 12F675 you need to disable the analog features to use the pins as digital inputs or outputs. Example 3-1 in the datasheet shows you how.
Also the osccal part in your code needs changing - see example 9-1.
I like the 12F675 - fairly powerful for a small chip.

 

Dear All

could you give me some simple code using with pic 16f876.

Thanks

 

You need to build your self a simple trainer. I guess you can use the low pin count demo board as a template. you find it here http://www.microchip.com/stellent/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&nodeId=1406&dDocName=en023805 look for "Low Pin Count User's Guide" But in order for this to work you must include a crystal or a RC osc in your design. It is also very important that you read section 12.1 Configuration Bits. The configuration bits must be correct for your setting. You can set them with the __CONFIG statement or from MPLAB. But you can NOT use the same settings as for the 16f690 chip used in the demo board. You will find the __CONFIG options at the end of the header file.
Another solution is that you get a 16f690 chip and just build the trainer and use the demo code
