Re: temp sensor

I don't think so! The idea is yours, I am just following your lead.
LGR showed me the way to a really good sensor that I did not know existed.

I am looking in my supplies to see if I have one of the sensors to experiment with.

Re: temp sensor

Remember! I am not an expert here, just a student... When you add iron mass you will be slowing the measurement process down. Increasing surface area will speed up heat loss. I have been thinking in terms of the sensor being on the head of a 3 inch nail with the point at the heat source. Also, contr...

Re: temp sensor

Jose, your approach is sound. No need to apologize whatever the results are. If the strategy provides a solution within your bounds it is especially good. If not, what you learn from the project is also valuable. The science of heat transfer and control is critical for steam engines, micro electroni...

Re: temp sensor

I missed this thread the first time around. I will share my experience.... In 1959 I was a Lab Tech in the Reactor Physics Division at Battelle Memorial Institute. We were studying Heat Transfer conditions in Reactor Cores. We used Iron Constantan thermocouples that were fabricated on site. The sens...

PIC Config Options

I use miKro Pascal Pro and either an EP5 Development board or a PIC miKro Flash unit. Sometimes I need to load a hex file into a PIC Chip from some other source. I currently use another non miKro programmer to load the chip because I don't have the config information available to use my miKro progra...

Re: Announcing the development of LIBSTOCK - Your place for

I am anxiously awaiting the LIBSTOCK function. The first objective of any miKro product needs to enhance the strength and position of the company. Any activity that promotes a competitor's products is counter productive. Promoting a vendor's products that extends or enhances miKro's products can be ...

EasyPIC5 schematic?

I think I once had a copy but I cannot seem to find it. Specificly, I need to verify I have everything off of the Port C0 & C1 pins except the PS2 Keyboard. I have converted the EP6 Example code to the 18F4520 and I am pretty sure that I have a setup problem with jumpers & switches. I will eventuall...

My experience is that twice as long is too long for my circumstance.

Picflash2 connection specs

Is there a published limitation for the cable length on the Picflash2? Actually, I was using a 10-pin adapter cable to connect to a prototype breadboard and I got the error message indicating the wrong chip type was detected. I was using a 16F628 chip. It seems to work OK with an adapter with no add...

Re: Undefined ANSEL

This is a non-issue. I have installed & tested MPPro 3.8 on my new Win 7 machine and it appears to be working as expected.
I will next contact Support to get the Pro edition properly registered...
Thanks to all.

Re: Undefined ANSEL

I deserve the problem! I should not have ignored my MikroPas compiler so long. For the last couple of years I have only tweaked an application written in Ver8. As one ages remembering things gets less reliable. On the other hand, I will enjoy the relearning process... and I am confident that the new...

Re: Undefined ANSEL

16F887 straight from the examples. No modifications! I had to mess up the install some how.
I do have version 8 installed on the same machine. Perhaps I should uninstall both V8 and and reinstall just MPPro 3.8 and try again? XP Pro is the Operating system.

Undefined ANSEL

Message:
30 303 Identifier "ANSEL" was not declared LedBlinking.mpas

I am feeling very dumb today!
I am just starting to take a look at MP Pro 3.8 so I think this is a setup problem. I am trying to compile the included LedBlinking Example for the EP6 board. Where should I have included the ANSEL ?

Re: Beginner's question: How to set an alias in Pascal ?

Thanks VCC!
I have been whining about the lack of a "Define" directive to do this for years! I was asking the wrong question!
