ok i have GCBASIC and i have no clue what to do or where to start. unfortunately i can't find any projects on the web that i can backwards work to my neeeds..

i dont care which PIC i use altho due to space the 8 pin would be best.


before i start we all know that (1 = on) and (0 =off):

i want the PIC to take my input of (1) on say PIN1 and then output (1, 0) on PIN2 at a rate of around 20 a second until PIN1 returns to (0).. if this is a small task please could someone reply with the answer, or if it is a bit more length please could i get pointed in the right direction.

maybe there is something simpler i could use to acheive this, a different chip possibly? any help would be apreciated!!!

Thanks in advance,

a trigger happy gamer.

hi, :)

IIUC your timing could be done with a 555 timer , connected as an astable.

Look here:

A LM555 chip and use the power pin as your input "PIN1" would be easier?

Are you looking to make this circuit or learn the pic chips?

There is a MikroBASIC that works well and the demo will generate 200 bytes of code.
 
im just looking to make the circuit really... i wanted to use a pic due to space available.. but i cant find access to the hardware to upload the code.. maybe a 555 would be best..
 
Do you think that this would do the job.. if its all connected correctly it has a 54% duty cycle at like 0.042 sec & 0.035 sec:

Not sure what you mean far as space, it will take about the same space chip wise.

Google for 555 timer and you will find a ton of tutorials on the chip.

Pics are fun, so you might want to build a programmer, but for what you wanted to do the 555 would do the job just fine.
