HowTo: Build a 16 Ch PicDimmed Renard with SSRs onboard!
( Dave Johnson)
Step 17 : To get the firmware onto the PIC:
|
| | (If you are familiar with other pic programmers, feel free to email me a few paragraphs, and I can put it in here, as long as it is directly related to the Renard project)
1. Get a pic programming kit (These instructions assume you are using a PICKit 1)
2. Install MPLAB IDE
3. Configure – select device – choose the PIC16F688
4. Programmer – select programmer – PICKit1
5. Programmer – connect to programmer
6. Download the latest Renard code and open it in the MPLAB IDE
7. “build” to create the hex file
8. Using the PICKit 1 program (Named “PicKit 1 Flash Starter Kit”), import the hex
9. “write” to program the PIC, and then “verify” to check that it was a success.
10.
The simplest way to verify that you have programmed the pic correctly is to start with the Diagnostic code, program your PIC. Apply power and ground to Pin 1, Pin 14 respectively. Then attach a LED in series with a resistor (~500Ohms) to pin 13. This is the heartbeat output and the LED should blink on and then off every second.
