Hi Mike

Thank you very much, but I still have some doubts over what you have said

1. Since you said that I should not mess around with the SPIs, so how should i connect my ZG2100M to my PIC18F4550?

2. If I am going to continue using ZG2100M instead of MRF24WB0MA, I need to use the TCP/IP stack v5.20? Can I use TCP/IP stack v5.20b? Is there a difference?

3. If I am going to use the open source openpicus, I need to change the PIC18 to PIC24 and the ZG2100M to MRF24WB0MA even though i do not need to have any USB connection?

Thank you once again for the very useful information you have gave

Hi Calvin,

1/ If you look at the schematic of the Flyport you'll see how SPI is connected :

* SDI (slave) <--> SDO (master)

* SDO (slave) <--> SDI (master)

* SCLK (slave) <--> SCLK (master)

and sometimes you also need to use the SS (slave select).

2/ When I mentionned v5.20, v5.20a & v5.20b are in fact also OK

If you don't need USB then use the Flyport with the PIC24FJ256GA106.

It seems it is possible to order Flyport as a finished module with the firmware in it and a Brutus serial booloader ;=)

im currently doing my final year project. My project is called  'intelligent windows ' when it rains, the windows will closed, and you  can control it remotely . Right now , all my circuit can works except  the RF . I have 2 RF-PCB board using PIC18F2620 . 1 is for transmit and 1  for receive. But i face some problems when doing RF program. When i  added 'i = CreateNewConnection(2);', the circuit would stop working.  And i am still not able to build connection between 2 RF-PCB board. Can you help me figure out where is the problem?

[EDITED- type of RF module i using now ] http://ww1.microchip.com/...en/AppNotes/01204a.pdf

Greatly appreciated for all your help!!

Hi Mike,

What is this, I followed the link and it took me to MPLAB X beta. How is this version different from the regular releases of MPLAB?

Before trying it out I want to get some details

Best Regards,

Forget what I said,

MPLAB for Linux and MAC, WWWOOOOTTTT!!!! This is AWESOME!!!!!!!!

Can't wait to try it.

Hello,  I hoping I can get a solution to my problem.

I'm using a PIC24FJ256GB210 for a project , Developing on a Explorer 16 Board.

The Code I'm Using is Bellow.

(ConfigPins(); Just Handles The Mapping of the OC1-OC4 to the Pins)

#define USE_AND_OR    

#include <p24FJ256GB210.h> 

#include <timer.h>

#include <outcompare.h>

#include "PinConfig.h"

_CONFIG1( JTAGEN_OFF & GCP_OFF & GWRP_OFF & FWDTEN_OFF & ICS_PGx2) 

_CONFIG2( FCKSM_CSDCMD & OSCIOFNC_OFF & POSCMOD_XT & FNOSC_PRI) 

void __attribute__ ((interrupt,no_auto_psv)) _T3Interrupt( void) {LATA = PORTA ^ 0x0001;T3_Clear_Intr_Status_Bit;} 

int main() 

{ 

ConfigPins();

OpenTimer3(T3_ON|T3_PS_1_8|T3_SOURCE_INT, 399);

ConfigIntTimer3(T3_INT_ON|T3_INT_PRIOR_1);      

OpenOC4(OC_TIMER3_SRC|OC_PWM_CENTRE_ALIGN,OC_SYNC_TRIG_IN_TMR3, 0, 0);

OpenOC3(OC_TIMER3_SRC|OC_PWM_CENTRE_ALIGN,OC_SYNC_TRIG_IN_TMR3, 10, 0);

OpenOC2(OC_TIMER3_SRC|OC_PWM_CENTRE_ALIGN,OC_SYNC_TRIG_IN_TMR3, 399, 0);

OpenOC1(OC_TIMER3_SRC|OC_PWM_CENTRE_ALIGN,OC_SYNC_TRIG_IN_TMR3, 400, 0);

while(1);

}

Hi Mike

In MPLAB, what does it mean by Digital In Pull Ups?

Thanks

  Hi

          I am making project using micochip MRF24WB0MA & PIC18F , actually i want to send my sensors(anlaog) data to the my PC. Wifi chip sends data wirelessly but how to recognise & recieve that data from PC also they mensioned that tcp/ip running on PIC but can you tel me where my program to keep in that code there are lots of function where is place for my code(sensors data convesion). Please suggest solution.

     Thanks in advance.
