Hey everybody, I have tried programming again, and so far everything has gone well. THe only problem is that DIPmicro is out of Inchworm+

, and I need at least the preprogrammed 16F877A and teh PCB. I can get the rest, but I was wondering is any michigander or Canahooligan could send me the PCB and the 16F877A. I can provide payment and the 16F877A if necessary.

Thanks alot! Hope to be building smart robots soon!

NOTE: This is not a sale or a purchase of a oversite product. I am simply asking for assistance.

Dipmicro has the board:
http://dipmicro.com/store/index.php?...&productId=441

and the chip:
http://dipmicro.com/store/index.php?...&productId=211

I'd buy it that way, but if I buy the whole kit I get the rest of the parts for a bit under five bucks. I could get some of it out of the junk box, but if I have to order the rest of the parts it'll definitely end up costing more than five bucks.

I might be able to help you with a programmed '877A when I get home this weekend. I'm located in Westland. Please send me a PM and I'll reply with my phone number...

DipMicro has the inchworm+ kit back in stock.

**Krumlink** · 20th September 2007, 03:44 PM

I was going to get the inchworm now, since It was back in stock, that way I wont have to go all around my suppliers looking for parts. Thanks for the very short thread but good replies

**Krumlink** · 21st September 2007, 02:15 AM

WOOT! The inchworm is on its way!

These are the chips I have (I am planning to program in C++ since my High school programs their robotz in c++)

16F88 x3
16F876A x4
16F877A x4
16F887 x3
18F4620 x3
16F628A x5
(I have some nice friends that gave me this stuff and the sample order

THAT I DONT ABUSE ANYMORE

)

All I need now is some code and some good directions

C++ is not for microcontrollers. Microcontrollers have a somewhat specific C.
Also for C stick with the 18F series of PICs (the free student edition of C18 is excellent I'm told)
Getting a little assembly will help.

aussiepoof · 21st September 2007, 09:20 AM

The Microchip C18 compiler is great, and as Blueroom said the 18F processors are reasonably well suited to C. The newer 24 series is even better suited to it, but a little harder to work with for newbies.

I have managed to program the 18F series with a bootloader using a modified JDM style programmer (just wired the right pins on a 28-pin ZIF socket for my 18F2550), so you don't even need anything complex to work with them. They're also cheap when bought in one-off quantities from Microchip Direct.

Regards,
Paul

**Krumlink** · 21st September 2007, 08:25 PM

So how do I program the 16F series

**Krumlink** · 21st September 2007, 09:05 PM

How do I learn C from C++?

What is the point of you telling me to get 16F series of chips when you want me to use the 18F?

I just want to start programming...

In assembler, so you learn something!

**Krumlink** · 21st September 2007, 09:38 PM

such as?

Like what KIND of assembler (obviously some kind of 16F assembler)

Ok this is what I have:
16F88 x3
16F876A x4
16F877A x4
16F887 x3
18F4620 x3
16F628A x5
INCHWORM+
9PIN SERIAL CABLE
MPLAB WITH ASSEMBLER (full version is working now)

What do I need?
List it like above.

**Nigel Goodwin** · 21st September 2007, 09:41 PM

You've got everything you need!.

**Krumlink** · 21st September 2007, 10:09 PM

WRONG! You diddnt say C language

Really? So I write the program in C and use the MPLAB TOOLSUITE ASSEMBLER with it? Awesomely radical. All I need now is some CODE and PIC (i was thinking about the 16F628A) setup. How about a simple blinky mc light? (aka what is a basic stepthrough of creating a flashy mc led)
