Necker Cubicle

Had a 2 day trip to Kannur Engineering College, for the technical exhibition infinity organized by the Computer Science Association of the college. Sandhya, Seenu and Remya were also with me to Kannur. Rajith and Aneesh joined us later. The hospitality we received there was tremendous…. You can never expect much more than this, Thank you for to GCEK students. I think every college posses the culture of the region as is the case of GCEK. And we also participated in certain competitions too… Rajith, Aneesh and me were one group and the others were another, both of us tried our chance in project presentation but terribly failed:-) Our group also tried our luck in Debugging contest and reached the final round. The intersting thing was that errors kept on increasing as we debugged. We had stay there in Govt hostel and also had food there. The return journey was a bit tough, we took the bus at 12:00 noon and the journey was terrible… Anyway we had great reception here ...

I just had a chance to program the PIC 16F628 microcontroller as a part of a project and thought of scribbling down the things i learned and did till now. To start with PIC 16F628 is a general purpose 8 bit microcontroller with a very compact instruction set, 35 instruction, which make the programming much more interesting. One of the simplest burning circuit for PIC 16F628, which i am using is the one by Jim Paris. Jim Paris had also designed a software called jimpic to burn the hex code of the PIC program onto the microcontroller. You could get the burning circuit fom here . I am using gpasm assembler for assembling the code. Now lets write the first pic program…. list p=16f628                 include “p16f628.inc”                 __CONFIG _CP_OFF & _DATA_CP_OFF & _BODEN_OFF ...
