I am new here and I have had good experiences on different forums. I am participating in a project and my portion is building a network card using a PIC18F2520.
I have never learned to do any of this stuff before. I am very familiar with Basic language but not so much with C language. I dont know where to start or even what software to use. I dont have a development board for this PIC.
For example, how would I get a pre-defined array to this PIC from a software I developed in Visual Basic 9.0. Im sorry about asking so much but I guess I would have to start at:
What are the steps to program a PIC18F2520? (software, files, cables?)
I would appreciate all your help. Thank you: confused:
Since BASIC is your thing take a look at Swordfish BASIC for the 18F
All you need is a programmer like the PICkit2 or my Junebug (a PK2 compatible with tutor)
Ok, I am getting swordfish basic right now. I guess it might be important to say that my transciever module for this board is going to be Microchip's MRF24j40 and we will be using Miwi protocol.
Does this change any software requirements?
Like do I have to find a software that will also compile for Miwi or can I use two separate independent software's?
Ok, I do have C18 but it looks indimidating because I have never programmed a microcontroller before. Well I have done the Motorola HCS12 with Code Warrior but I think this is different.
Will C18 do everything for the pic and MRF24j40 or do I need another software?
For my MPLAB, i just installed the MiWi stack for pic18.
