Hi all

I am so new for pic programming therefor i have a Q


would a PIC16F84 program work in PIC16F84A without no changing ?



Thancs for all

 

[bananasiong]

Of course. But it's better to use the newer and cheaper and better PIC such as PIC16F628A. With the same pin out, more I/O pins and more features.

If the source code is availbale, it would be trivial to re-assemble it for the PIC16F84A.

If you take the easy road and get a PIC16F628A, (Like I did) I might require some changes.

 

[Funny NYPD]

would recommend the new hot 16F887 family.

 

[atferrari]

Hotter and newer is the 18F family.

 

[wmmullaney]

But for a beginner???

 

[Funny NYPD]

True. The 18F is much powerful and price is almost the same. It is not that complicate for beginners.

Thank You all For Your Help, You people are awesome,I have never inspected that much of replies.

 

[wmmullaney]

Yes, thats the reason I love this forum, lots of nice people with lots of great answers.

 

[bananasiong]

Everyone acts like SPI here - information exchanging

 

[atferrari]

18F for beginners

But for a beginner???

You are thinking, most probably, in your own approach to that family and the difficulties you had (or expect to have).

People with no experience would be less worried and probably will have success in shorter time.

 

[wmmullaney]

Ok, they are more expensive and have many things that I would never use.

 

[Thunderchild]

scrap the 16F84 you can't even get free samples anymore probably soon they will stop making them but it is frustrating that 99 % of beginer stuff out there is for this pic but its outdated

 

[Krumlink]

If you had to pick something close to it, pick a 16F628A or a 16F88. Both of them are newer and much better and cheaper

 

[Funny NYPD]

the 16F88 and 16F88x family are very good.

 

[Zebedeig]

My opinion is: try, if you have just programmed a 16F84 or 88, the pic16F876: it's more powerful why it have got some good peripherals like an A/D converter, timers, buses.

My PIC adventure is started with 876 why it permits to make all you can make with F84 but don't requires external peripherals!

see more projects with an unique 876 or 877(like 876 but with 40pins instead of 28) **broken link removed**!

 

[bananasiong]

I agree with NYPD. In PIC16F, 16F88 is the best for 18 pins.
PIC16F88x series are more powerful than 87x.
Internal oscillator, internall MCLR pullup, fail safe mode monitoring.

 

[Thunderchild]

would code for the 16F887 work on the 16F88 ?

 

[Nigel Goodwin]

would code for the 16F887 work on the 16F88 ?

Within the limitations of the hardware, yes - it's the same 14 bit core.
