A built in analog to digital converter (A/D Converter or ADC) makes life easy when you’re using your PIC. As you know, an ADC is a powerful and even necessary tool in many projects. There are a lot of options, registers, and bits that can get confusing so this post will be dedicated [...]

Implicit Pins
Sometimes in EAGLE, you’ll see errors and warning based on implicit pins. I touched on this before, but it’s something that deserves a little more attention. For many ICs, the device in EAGLE includes the I/O pins in the symbol you place on the diagram, and the power and ground pins [...]
We’ve already looked at the process of writing to your EEPROM, but it isn’t much use if you can’t retrieve the information. Â In this post we’ll figure out how to get that information back so you can use it again. Â It is much simpler than writing because there’s not the concern of corrupting data.
Again, this [...]
For me, the EEPROM is a powerful tool for debugging. Â Sure, there are debugging tools out there and even better “home-made” variety debuggers, but for me, it is simple and easy to use. Â With the PICkit 2 software, you are able to read what is currently on your PIC. Â If your PIC has written something [...]
