@pic18f4550 Awesome Tut's! I got a little request if i may, for my thesis i need to control 2 motors with PWM but i cant find any tut on how to do it with Mplab. So i could really use your help. My c knowledge is good but my µc knowledge is not good. Thanks in advance
you could run also this USB system for programming and serial emulation through the USB in Linux. Research on google about SanUSB linux. There is also folders in 4shared.
Nice. The 18F4550 is a bit of overkill for something like this (a 555 timer would do). I'm guessing this is one of a series of tutorials, and more advanced projects follow? The '4550 can actually run Microchip's TCP/IP stack and serve simple web pages...
Perhaps you can show us how to do it with a 10 pin SOIC? Me personally, I'm going to redo it using the PIC16F946 which is a 64 pin monster with built in LCD controller. How's that sound?
Lets say I wanted to make a toy dog on wheels (don't worry about the wheels) ... could I make it "bark" with a voice chip and use this setup to control a relay wagging its tail at a variable speed depending on excitement level?
Yes you could get an audio chip that will hold a short barking sound. Use this chip (a microcontroller) to activate the bark. Yes you could use this setup (analog to digital) to make the tail wag faster as it gets happier.
But what basis would you use for signifying happiness in the dog? Perhaps the more a person touches its body.. human touch is an analog signal.. so yes that would work. Would be a pretty difficult first project though.
You could use this setup for that but it's a bit overkill. It would be better to include that in the ecological code of your robot.
To OP - great project, keep up the good work, but I suggest using an electronic tweaker tool rather than a metal screwdriver in the future when adjust trim pots and caps, especially around high voltage or lots of amps (not the case here but it's a good habit to get into).

A basic but useful example on how to use a microchip.

what is the code you typed in?

you could run a GLCD with USB connection to PC with that !

lol, you use microcontroller with 40 pins to flash LED? its just funny!

I fail to see the humor in that.
Are you suggesting he should go out and buy another controller with fewer pins, just to play with this experiment?
Maybe a smaller breadboard too? And shorter wires?
