Looking good! Diodes are fine, dark band is the cathode as per normal so just place it them the same way round as shown on the component placement diagram. |

Cheers Kwackers :thumbup: I was worried I bought the wrong thing I'm going to have to think about programming the pic soon Just noticed the ebay seller for my pic is away until the 25th :doh: There seams to be a confusing amount of programers out there and I don't know what to get :scratch: I have programed a AVR micro-controller before but only with specific instructions to follow (I didn't know what I was doing) What programer would you recomend ? And what software would I need ? |

I'm possibly not the best person to ask for PIC programming - I use either a Microchip Picstart2, or the Mikroelectronica programmers, neither of which are priced for one off projects... However I have in the past used a freeware JDM programmer - there are lots of clones available on eBay (for example) eBay JDM Programmer Indeed a quick whizz around eBay will throw up a multitude of clones and cheap programmers of all denominations. Most of the hardware comes with software (usually one of the freeware programmers floating around) but there's a whole shed full of software available (Here for example). The good news is that 18F's are simple devices to program, so there are lots of cheap programmers around and I'd imagine most will work fine, certainly I know lots of people who've built this have also bought cheap programmers and haven't heard anyone complain yet... (I should add the best way is to usually find someone near you who has such a device....) |

Hi, I have used these in the past, PIC-PG2 Programmer from cool components http://www.coolcomponents.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=32&products_id=42 also listed on the page is a few links to free compatible software to use with it. Enjoying the thread :thumbup: Rob |

Cheers guys I have one ordered :beer: So I now face a bit of a wait for parts so I thought I would crack on with the bit I was dreading most Cutting a hole in the box :dremel: I didn't get any pics of the first bit but I covered the front with masking tape and carefully measured and marked out the hole for the lcd to poke through. I will be using some standoff's to hold the lcd to the front panel and will machine them so that the lcd sits flush as shown Having the lcd flush and counter sinking the screws will enable me to use this cover I have printed and laminated (someone else's idea but I don't know who's ) This will be stuck down with some very thin double sided tape and should keep out the swarf and grinding dust that seams to get into everything in my shed/shop This is my third attempt as the laminating film seams to shrink in the cut out window if it gets to hot In fact the whole thing tends to shrink just a little throwing out the dimensions so laminate as cool as you can get away with I used inkscape to design the panel it's free http://inkscape.org/ and I would have made a coloured design but my colour printer never quite gets the size accurate for some reason. Next to design some inserts for the keypad :hammer: |
