Remote Controlled Switch

Hi guys,

I asked an guy from an electronics store and he said u have any specifications for the PIC and how much memory i needed.

What are specifications? how much memory will i need??

u can use dtmf generater and receiver with a fm tx
it will do for 16 o/p s

im sorry

i dint undrstand dtmf and 16o/s

It's a really crude 30 year old technology, very limited, complicated and expensive - which is why it's not really used any more.

There are many types of PIC's out there, before going off and buying a PIC on its own, you should consider the other requirements of PIC programming;

Software
- Program Development (Like Proton Lite)
- Programmer (Like IC-Prog)

Hardware
- Programmer (JDM's are cheap, and do the job quite well, there are some low-grade ones out there though)

Maybe this will help you out a bit

Creating PIC programs and programming your PICs is easy after you have the basics down pat.

Perhaps this **broken link removed** would help you/someone out.

To further answer your previous question, I would recommend the 16F877, as you can create programs in Proton Lite, SIM them, and then apply them in real life. Proton Lite only supports a couple of PIC's, Proton+ PDS (Full version) supports almost every PIC out there. Also, the 16F877 has HEAPS of program space, and plenty of I/O pins & features for future projects!

Why Proton Lite? Well after you have played with the virtual simulation tool (as shown in the tutorial above) you wont go back

It would be much easier and cheaper for him to just buy the HT12E and HT12D chips to do all of the encoding/decoding for him.
