Hello
Please recommend Pic microcontroller for this project.

5 buttons and 6 led strips
Also that's only the available space
13*20mm

im thinking of Pic 16f877a, how you think?

 

Microchip have a site which allows you to select the properties you want and it will produce a list of chips which match those requirements.

Okay, thanks im thinking of 16f886, the smd package, it's within dimensions I need, suitable for this pcb size

Do you have an idea which command suitable for programming the Pic to do these tasks mentioned above?

I want a pin in the Pic to be on, when press a button
And if I press the same button again, this pin goes off, and another pin goes on
If press again, the last pin is off,
Also need pwm control pins, to control the brightness led
How this can be written in mikroC compiler?
I'm trying to learn about it these days, biyt if you can help would be much appreciated
Regards

 

I modified a LED lamp recently for a member, it had 3 sets of LED strings that were controlled independently, i.e. fade in, fade out, , I ended up using a pic version where the PWM output could be switched to 3 PWM output pins on the fly in order to sequentially control the three strings..

 

Do you have a PicKit to use to program it?

Do I need 6 pwm output for control the brightness?

 

For the application I had the three banks of LED's were each controlled by a separate output, each bank in turn..
The PWM width was varied from zero to maximum by using a timer to change the PWM width, every 'Tick' of the timer would increase or decrease the PWM width accordingly.

Yes, have and

For my project?, how you think the pwm should be configured? With the Pic and leds?

 

anyone can help with writing the code?

 

I used an 8 pin pic with 3 configurable output, not sure if there is one that covers more output pins. ?
I only PGM in assembly,

 

Do I need 6 pwm output for control the brightness? Nope just 6 ouputs and 1 pwm if you want dim all 6 the same if not
Then you need 6 of them

 

Can you write what you want to happen like flow of how you want it to happen post 3# is not that clear

5 buttons and 6 led strips

You need to to list all 5 buttons
And what happens to the 6 led strips

mikroC probably not that hard to write the code.

I need when I press button it light one led led strip, and when I press again it off that led strip and light other one, and when I press again it off the last led strip and that's all
For every led strip the same, as every two led strip controller by one button

BTW, two buttons for increment and decrement the lighting of led
" pwm", one button increase brightness by a percent when pressed or increase gradually the brightness when pressed all time and same for decrement

That's all

Certainly the method I used in post #7 would do it, rather than automatic, it would be subject to button depress time.
