This fix refers to the library version release 12 April 2011. When using an Explorer 16 board and setting the Macro definition of EXPLORER16_100P in MPLab, parts of the library do not pick it up correctly rendering the heartbeat LED and the UART to not work. No compilor error is noticed. In the file lib\include\pic24_libconfig.h […]

For those that use the Explorer 16 board and have in the last 12 or so months purchased the PIC24HJ256GP610 PIM from Microchip (part number MA240012) may have noticed it’s got a different chip on it. It now uses the PIC24HJ256GP610A which has some issues when using the library included with the book Microcontrollers: From […]
Hi again. Onto the next example, this time on page 295 (figure 8.28). The code for this one is called ‘ledtoggle_nofsm’ and it’s in the chap8 folder. Now that we’ve defined EXPLORER16_100P in the pic24_all.h file, here is a new checklist to use: Double click on the project file for the exercise your wanting to […]
Well I’m going to run with the PIC24 for the time being and use the Microcontrollers – From Assembly Language to C Using the PIC24 Family book, but jumping to chapter 8 as the assembly language is not what I want at the moment. It’s learning about C and the PIC24. Anyway, as I’m using […]
I’m on a journey of learning and need to make a decision on which way I go first. When I ordered my Explorer16 board, I also ordered the PIC32MX460F512L PIM, a 32-bit USB capable 100pin chip for the Explorer 16. I also ordered a couple of books from Amazon but they look to be still […]
My Explorer 16 development board arrived yesterday so have been playing with it. Initially the example code that came with the PIC24FJ128GA010, doing some basic things like modifying the looping LCD text, then writing my first program to test the LED’s on the board. Had to make sure it all worked. And as usual stuff from […]
First a little about this blog. It’s a log of my various electronics exploits. It includes a raft of things from simple 555 timer projects to rudder pedal controller using USB to fly Flight Simulator to weather instruments to other “just playing” embedded systems that I build. Most will include detailed instructions on how to […]
