Programming PIC16F84A

[kewl]boy — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 20:11:42 +0800

Good day to everyone who look at this.
I have a mechatronic project in school whereby I've decided to use the PIC16F84A, however it's been 2 weeks I'm stucked at it and not knowing where's the problem. It could be hardware or software.

These are the details :

I am supposed to trigger some motion in this sequence :

1) A delay of about 10 secs
2) Start a motor connected to pin RA0 and a LED at RA1
3) A delay of about 5secs to keep the motor and LED on
4) Turn off 1st motor and LED
5) Turn on 2nd motor and LED connected to pin RA3 and RA4 respectively
6) Delay of about 10 secs to keep the 2nd motor and LED on
7) Turn them off
8) Turn on another motor connected to pin RA4
9) A long delay to keep motor running

Basically there're 5 things connected to separate pins on the chip from RA0--> RA4

I've written a code in txt and save it as '.bas' file --> use ICProg to convert the .bas file to .hex --> Then use WinPic880 to program the hex codes into the chip. All the programming went smoothly, the problem is I'm not sure whether the code is correct or not.

Could it be the code problem or the hardware?

Hi fellow LYNers, I know you guys are fed up with the connection, I feel the same too.
So I decided to take some action and not just let TM take advantage of us.

Please make your complaints to THE MALAYSIAN COMMUNICATIONS AND MULTIMEDIA COMMISSION aka SKMM about this.
If only a few of us doing this it may prove futile, so to all who are affected please voice your dissatisfactions! Together we will be heard!

Electronics question!

[kewl]boy — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 21:38:54 +0800

Fellow LYN-ers pro in electronics and tried to make a motor circuit before pls help!
I want to make a motor system with adjustable speed.
My idea is to use 3 different resistance of resistor to create 3 speed, is that possible? I know it's hard to imagine, so I made a rough skecth :

If you know simpler way to do this then even better!

Chip Hup Holdings

[kewl]boy — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 21:04:41 +0800

As you all know, 'data entry' job offer nowadays are too good to be true, mostly are scams. So I need some advice from you guys.
Ok this is the story.

Last december I came across this data entry job in Jobstrxxt from a company 'Chip Hup Holdings'. I then apply for the job and was later called up for an interview.

I was a little startled arriving at the company coz it's like a new office environment with only a receptionist desk and some rooms with empty desks, hardly look like an established company, nevermind that since it might be a new company. So i proceeded to attend the interview, and the interviewer is a Malay guy who doesn't look very professional (we only spend less than 5 minutes and the way he conduct the interview is not like my previous job). Then I was told to wait for reply. Ok end of part 1.

One month later (last week) someone from the company called me up for training (I was quite suprised coz I've already forgotten about the job since it's already 1 month passed. Usually it wouldn't take so long right?) so I feel some fishy stuff going on. I'm still doubting is there any sort of trick this company is playing.

Fellow LYN-ers pls advice. Any of you came across this company before or similar kinda scenario happened to you.
