Confusion over the use of resistors between MCU and LCD module. The PicDem 2 PLUS board didn't have them. I am going to bread board one w/ them and test...
... Well I put 4x 1k ohm resistors inline with the datalines (as they change direction)... prolly can put 1k on the enable, RS (register select) and R/W...
... FWIW: 1k on enable means the rise/fall times (most likely the fall between two rises of a nibble in 4-bit mode) take too long. Suspect it's a "filter" (RC)...

Hello all, I'm new here and I'm thinking about making a Tag system for myself. I've got several old Laser Tag sets but they are showing trier age. So, I'm...
Hi all, I'm new here but have some questions about the current state of Laser Tag design. I've noticed that all the current DIY designs have the sensors...
Have ya'll thought about going with a wireless link between the gun and sensors? Low power rf link sets run between $6 to $12. They are addressable and the...
... Theres actually been some discussion along these lines over at LaserForums.com recently. The discussion ther centers mainly around establishing a common...
Okay .. that was a lame subject, but what I am really interested in are comments from other PIC folks... Primarily (software) development tools of preference...
... I, personally, use PIC Basic Pro. I've never really done anything with anything else, though(PIC-wise), so I can't say whether it's actually any good or...
It has been a long time since I did anything with PICs (years now), but when I was first learning how to use them I too just used the free assembler from...
... So far ... I have to agree ... doing code in assembler leaves nothing to chance... it also means more coding tho! ... And that is something I've thought...
... I don't know about community usage(Other than Mr. Robertson) for PBP, but it supports everything that you mentioned... Let me know if you want anything...
It seems DIY gear builders always have trouble finding 2 things, the sound chips and the LCD displays. With the disappearance from surplus stores of the Wirz...
... Sorry for the delay ... Yeah, I used some reference / demo code and rewrote over 1/2 of it so it is more portable across the PIC16F family .. the reference...
Been working with the ISD5100 (5116) and it works and will work, but want something with higher sampling rate or something --ISD has other modules that are up...
I have purchased a ISD5116 (ISD5100) series chipcorder. I am assuming it is similar to other models and others out here have more experience that I do! I've...

Does anybody have any historical information on the WoW IR protocol and and permutations-enhancements? Only think I can find is ~58kHz modulated carrier (that...
While Brian will have the most up to date information on the original protocol, my recollection was the the decoded tone is centered at 1800 Hz. The carrier...
Strange.. I've seen mentioned in various places a carrier of around 56-58khz. The whole "1800Hz tone" is what previously threw me and now uncertainty about the...
No, the information you mentioned is correct, but only when you mention the range. The theoretical carrier from the original circuit was something odd like...
