Projects that Use a PIC12C509

[Nathan]

Hi there,
are there any good projects that use a PIC12C509?
Thanks
Nathan

 

[Nathan]

or a PIC12c508 or PIC16F84

 

[Nathan]

thanks

playstation mod chips (though the 12c508 is a better choice as the ps mod
chip uses little memory) and hacking optus cable boxes, there the two i
know of anyway.

Jaycar sell some el-cheopo project book on PICs for around $20.

Or follow the links from Dontronics @ www.dontronics.com

yeah ive seen it, ill keep searching on google

What are you trying to do?
Experiment with PICs in general?, or use up a bunch of chips you
already have?
If you are experimenting then you'll need a Flash based PIC (eg,
16Fxxx) so you can reprogram it over and over.

oh ok then thanks for the tip david, ill make sure that i get a flash pic
then, na i just wanted to play around with pics in general, i guess i could
pla around with turning on and off leds and then play around with different
source codes and stuff
do you ahve any project ideas

thanks alot

Yes, an endless number of them!, but aren't you better off picking
something you are interested in?
You are probably better off starting with something like the PICAXE
http://www.rev-ed.co.uk/picaxe/
The PICAXE allows you to program a PIC with a simple BASIC language.
Silicon Chip have done many PICAXE projects over the last year or so.

they look cool, but is there anything that i can make my self i would like
to make a robot or something but without having to buy a kir or something if
you know what i mean

If you can't think of something to make yourself, then I don't like
your chances of you doing your own robot project from scratch without a
kit!
As I said, look at the Silicon Chip articles, they have plenty of
example projects using the PICAXE, including a robot:

dave,
i was looking for like only circuit diagrams and schematics of circuits
online and was asking if anyone had any good references

I just gave you a good one!

yeah u did its actually very interesting thanks

 

[Nathan]

thanks i will check it out

I've used a variation of this as a wildlife tracker for my cat. The RF gear
was sourced from Oatley Electronics, very small!

Must be a smart cat to use a wildlife tracker. Streamlining its
hunting methods.

Smart enough to lean by hiding under a corrugated iron roof the signal will
be scattered / attenuated enough to fool a 5 element yargi

That strange 'whooshing' noise was that last one going straight over your
head.

However I'm intrigued by the cat's response. When they don't want you to
follow, they learn pretty quickly where you can't/won't go!
