All that remains now is for the code to be `, compiled and converted to a HEX file that the PIC can understand. This is achieved easily with the PIC compiler that comes with the PICBASIC package. The PIC is programmed with any of the parallel or serial port programmers that are available free of charge from the NET. If you arrange the LEDs as the

diagram of my prototype box, FIG 1, then the LEDs at the left of the PIC we will call LEDs A and to the right of the PIC LEDs B. Number them, starting at the top of LED A the RED LED number 0. The next one down is AMBER and is number 1. The bottom one GREEN is numbered 2. The right hand side LEDs starting from the top is numbered 4 for the top RED LED with number 5 being allocated for the middle, AMBER LED. The bottom, GREEN LED is number 6. Loop: Is the start of this programme. It is suitably called loop, as that is what the programme does. It loops continuously until it is switched off. It must be followed by the colon. HighO: Places a logicl on portB pinO consequently lighting LED 0. The colon is there to separate the first statement (high 0) from the next one in the same line. If the next statement (high 6) was placed on the next line down there would be no need for the colon. It just saves space. Pause1000 Is an instruction to tell the PIC to delay for 1 second. The actual time will depend on the clock frequency of the PIC. As a rule of thumb 1000 can be regarded as 1 second and 5000 as 5 seconds. The portB pins are placed in a register called bl. This could have been called b0, b2, b3 etc. there are, of course, only so many of these registers in each PIC. Lowbl instructs that everything in register b 1 goes to logic 0. In our case all the pins in portB, 0 to 7 are taken low. It does this in sequence from pin 0 to pin...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
