hi guys.
ive been spending alot of time of late trying to get to grips with pic datasheets.
as a noob (ok i been a noob a long time!) one of the hardest things ive found is to get to grips with the pic datasheets. from a beginners perspective they seem total incomprehensiable! and yet at every turn your faced with people saying LOOK IN THE DATASHEET! wich ok i agree is correct info, but for many the datasheet is just a jumbled collection of random acronyms etc and meaningless tables.
for nearly 2 years ive tried and tried to get info out of them!! finaly progress is being made and i am starting to learn how to read the sheets, actualy once you get the hang of it you wonder why it took so long to understand!
anyway the point of the post is. while its still fresh in my mind i would like to do a short beginers guide in how to read the datasheet using the things ive found to be helpful, however i am stil;l very new at this so in order to make it accurate i wondered if any of you old hands would like to give a hand and just check what i am writeing is correct!!
some of the bigest hurdles i faced were silly things like not fully understanding the conection with reg names etc, so the idea is to take small sections of the datasheet and explain what they refer to and how the information is used. personaly i think it may help others in the future
let me know what you think
cheers
