Following on from my previous thread concerning wireless communications I need a little bit of help again, I have connected up this analog multiplexor to a PIC but cannot get any data from it all that I end up getting is 0's constantly. I have attached a file showing the way in which I have...

I have built two circuits both with PICAXE 18X chips, now I am trying to get them to communicate using an AM transmitter/receiver pair from maplin. http://www.maplin.co.uk/Media/PDFs/vy48.pdf However it isn't working as expected, I have the transmitter connected to an output pin (0) on the...

Right, need a few bits of advice and things clearing up as i'm quite confused. I need a bit of help sorting out the power issues I am having with a project. I need to find a solution that is as small form factor as possible as space is very constrained, I also need a stable 5v supply. Now I am...

Hi, I posted a while back on connecting a pic to another wirelessly and then onto a PC, the responses were really helpful and I think I know how I am going to go about doing it now. Problem is I now have realised that I need the first pic to take 15 analog inputs, as it is monitoring the...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew of a uk supplier of Flex sensors? Spent ages trawling through google and can't seem to find any, just saves paying extra for postage. Something along the lines of this...

Have not used PIC's for about two years now so I have forgotten most of their capabilities and interfacing, basically I have just started on a new project where I need data from pressure and directional sensors to be fed into my PC. I did a quick search of the forums but couldn't seem to find...

Is it possible, basically I need the PIC to collate data from a variety of sensors possibly running some arithmetic on the data and then to be able to send this data to a PC.

What im trying to build is an ammeter that can be used to check the amount of amps my car battery is kicking out. This will enable me to see how charged the battery is. Because of this it would need to be very high current, upto about 200A. I was wondering if it is possible to get anything...

I have an LCD display connected through the i2c bus to my 18x PIC chip, I am wondering if it is possible to get the PIC to display variables on the LCD. The display uses ascii code to display characters. The LCD is in the following link. http://www.robot-electronics.co.uk/htm/Lcd03tech.htm...

I am building a speed sensor for use in a car for my A Level Systems and Control project and have a couple of questions out hall effects. First is there a certain type that has to be used with PIC's? and also what command can be used in programming to count the number of pulses?
