Hello,
Attached is an image of how I imagine a small project.
I planned using PIC18F452 to take temperature input from a sensor with variable resistance, using a resistor for reference to get variable voltage that can be used to determine the temperature.
The MCU will change the position of a servo based on the temperature gathered from the sensor. The servo takes 20ms pulses to alter the rotational position.
I am sitting here with these pieces and cables + something I downloaded called MPLAB IDE V8.6.
The essential question is: briefly, what do I do now?
- Is there a piece of hardware that I use to connect the MCU to the computer to transfer the code (witten in C)?
- Should I just solder the leads onto the MCU, or do I need to buy a special board?
-Any other things I need to complete this project?
Thank you for your time.
Kind regards,
Marius
