What are you using to program the 18F2550?

I'm using a kit149 BE. I read the 18f2550 after programming and the hex looks exactly like the hex I was trying to put into it. Should there be any info in the EEPROM? I'm going to continue with my build and put a few pictures in a little while.

It uses the eeprom but I don't think having it unprogrammed is a problem. The PICkit 2 standalone software will let you calibrate and name your PK2 / Junebug.

Almost done with it. My clone is probably the ugliest programmer ever. I'm gonna call it jumper. When you see the pictures you'll understand. Thanks for all the help

Well just for the record here's my prototype. I used a 18F4550 because I had one handy at the time. Still works too!

Nice work, both 3v0 and futz you have done a nice job. The CON6 connector is completely optional. It was designed for using the Junebug as an USB experimentor platform, programming EEPROMs, ICP, PK2 compatible connector (with AUX).

Thanks for pointing out Y1 was not in the BOM.

I will use futz's (love that name) work to improve the Octopart list.

It is a bit awkard but they are working on improving the interface to allow us to sort/order the parts and do parameteric searches.

If all goes well one should be able to generate an order for parts using one or more vendors from the Octopart interface.

So, all this time I've been Futzing around and didn't realise.

Mike.
P.S. I'm going to populate my board tomorrow but I'm having the same problem of getting a p channel fet. Looks like I'll have to take a trip into the city.

3v0 helped me out a ton today!

He helped me program the 18F1320 to just blink port RB2. He then taught me about the port bits and how to use them. I then kept experimenting with them, changing the timing, and then I ended up with a Binary counter! It counts all the way up to 9, then goes back to 0. I was wondering how I add more bits and ports, such as making the timing go past 9. I couldn't figure this out, and I know you know. Thanks

I LOVE MICROCONTROLLERS! THERE I SAID IT!

Impressive, you'll have to post some code.

The 18F1320 is an advanced 8bit PIC, I actually enjoy using them over the 16F chips. The original Junebug design was going to use another 16F88 but since you can still use the Firefly Tutor I chose to use the 18F1320 on Junebug. *the 18F1320 shows its age by having an open collector RA4*

Very little bank switching, the LAT instruction, a proper subtract instruction, compare instructions, PUSH, POP, tables, free C compiler. The only drawback is you might not want to work with the 12bit or 14bit cores.

Not officially announced but I'm testing a simple hardware mod to the Inchworm+ design for 3.3V programming. Basically changed the 330 ohm resistors to 2.4K on the PGC & PFD lines, remove the VDD switch and BS250 (will not power the target) and dropping VPP to 10V (jumper to VPP switch)

HEX! That was my problem.

Here is the code. The bottom portion was what I did:
Code:
#include <p18f1320.h>
#include <delays.h>
#include <stdio.h> 
#include <stdlib.h>

#pragma config WDT = OFF
#pragma config OSC = INTIO2
#pragma config LVP = OFF
#pragma config PWRT = ON


// define TESTS
#define byte unsigned char
#define int8 unsigned char

#define CMD   0x00
#define DATA  0x01
#define READ  0x01
#define WRITE 0x00

#define TRIS_ACT_LED       TRISBbits.TRISB2 
// TRISAbits.TRISA2
#define ACT_LED            LATBbits.LATB2
// LATAbits.LATA2  


void delay_10us(unsigned char t);
void delay_ms(long t);

void delay_10us(byte t)
{
   int i;
   for (i=0;i<t;i++)
      Delay10TCYx(5);
}

void delay_ms(long t)   // delays t millisecs
{
   do
   {
     delay_10us(99);    // not 100 to compensate for overhead
   } while(--t);
}

void delay_us(long us)
{
    long x = (us%1000)/10;
    delay_ms(us/1000);
    delay_10us(x);
}    
    


void main (void)
{
  int flip = 0;
  long i,j;

  //
  // Set direction registers
  //
  //TRISA= 0x00;
  //TRISB= 0x00;
  TRIS_ACT_LED = 0; TRISA=0x00;  TRISB=0x00;

  //LAT0xA=0x00;
  //LATB=0x00;
  
  
  while (1)
  { 
    //ACT_LED = 0;
    //LATA= 0x00; 
    LATB= 0x01;
    delay_ms(1);
    //ACT_LED = 1; 
    //LATA= 0xFF; 
    LATB= 0x02;
    delay_ms(1);
	LATB= 0x03;
    delay_ms(1);
	LATB= 0x04;
    delay_ms(1);
	LATB= 0x05;
    delay_ms(1);
	LATB= 0x06;
    delay_ms(1);
	LATB= 0x07;
    delay_ms(1);
	LATB= 0x08;
    delay_ms(1);
	LATB= 0x09;
	delay_ms(1);
	LATB= 0x00;
	delay_ms(1);
  }
}
You need 4 LED's, each with a 330ohm resistor and one leading from rb0, rb1 rb2 and rb3, or else it wont work.

Jaw drop, are you the real Krumlink? in C wow. Which C did you use?

You should have no problem with the LED mux on Junebug. It's the same type of mux the PICkit 1 uses.

Krumlink is using MCC18 and an Inchworm+.

I provided a simple program that blinked the ACT_LED using

while(1)
{
ACT_LED = 1;
delay_ms(10);
ACT_LED = 0;
