I need to learn pic18 series

Dear All

I have enough knowledge about pic16f series so I need to lean pic18 series
Let me know, can I study my self pic 18 series
what are the big differences

Re: I need to lean pic18 series

Hi,

Really ??

Hope you do not mind me saying, but from your latest posts it looked like you were still struggling with the lcd routine - have you explored all the other many features of the 16F family like EUSART, SPI,I2C, PWM, EEPROM etc, etc ?
Have you programmed any project completely from scratch with all your own code ?

Also its not clear if you are using Assembler or C , or both ?

The 18F is really just an improved version of the 16F, while it has many good qualities which make coding better, the differences are not that dramatic.


Why do you 'Need' to learn the 18Fs ?


My advice would be to stay with the 16F, perhaps selecting some of the later 16F chips with more enhanced features.

The 16F range is so much better supported on the web and forums like EDA, you will not find as much web help for the 18F as most folk stay with the 16F or move to much higher chips like the Pic24 and Pic32s which are really for C users.

Dear wp100
Many Thanks for reply. I decided, it is better to achieve more experience in 16f than to change 18f series after your explanation
dear wp100 can I have a reply on my LCD problem that posted previously

Hi,

Think thats a wise decission, the 16F chips can do such a lot you can spend months,years learning all about it.

Not sure exactly what your lcd problem is ?

1. Do you have your 877 and lm16 working ? If not you can uses this code and wiring diagram - ingore the fact that the display is 4x20 the 16x2 is wired exactly the same way. Its in the simper 8 bit mode but wil get you going.

2. You have the display working but are stuck on the Inverted / Custom characters ? - if your code is in assembler please post it so I can see where you are stuck. Cannot help with C.

Dear wp100
many thanks again
I start to write using assembly for LCD. it is working properly
Recently I wrote a program for LCD using C (HI-TECH C)
it is met compile error when I insert (#include "lcd.h") header file to my program
I need assist on this

Hi,

As I said earlier I cannot help there as I do not know C.

Hopefully someone who does can come in and help you .....
