My problem is with the timing. Knowing that it takes ~50 miliseconds to go thru all the loops I can get pretty close to the times I need. 50ms * 1200 = ~60 seconds. Because I don't know enough about the ZX-24 I don't know what I will have to do to get the same timing. I know the ZX-24 runs much fast...

Hello all, I am really struggling trying to convert a program I had written for a different chip to the ZX-24. I really have no idea how to best get these loops to work correctly with the ZX-24 I have tried a couple of different ways, and I either end up in an endless look or it just doesn't work. S...

I'm looking for a battery charging circuit that is controlled by the microcontroller. I have a project that is currently working and battery operated. The problem is that the it could be up to a 1000ft from a charging source, and what I would like to do is remotly charge the batteries if a few condi...

Hello all, I am looking for a way to measure the amount of time a button has been pressed. 1st press of the button turns on the system (working) 2nd press turns additional features (working) 3rd press turns everything off, but what I need is some type of delay that prevent accidentally turning off t...

Thanks serdahl,

I will try your idea.

All of the circuits I have looked at have been a bit on the complicated side. I would still like to check into how I could control them remotely so I could do it if I needed to.

My first suggestion is to find a camera that does what you need I have done much research, but by no means exhaustive. I have not located a camera that will do exactly what I need. The application is unique and the cameras MUST be both color in the day time and black and white at night. The IR leds...

is it sensing light/dark through the lens or via a separate photo-sensor? If the latter, you could "shine" light on this sensor to affect when the LEDs come on. It does have a photocell which I will disconnect. I have to be able to control when the leds come on. The cameras could be locat...

Hi all, Here is my challange. I have a camera that is both color and black and white. It has IR leds that come on automatically when it gets dark. The problem I'm having is that as it begins to get dark the leds will flicker on and off causing white spots in the viewed image. There is a small pot th...

As it turns out it is easier than I thought to make this work. I have a real bad habit of making things harder than they need to be.

Anyway thanks for the suggestions.

Hello all, What I will need to be able to do is use a single push button to preform 2 seperate functions. If I push the button for less than a second then it turns the power to the unit on. If I hold the same button for more then 3 seconds then it will enable a seperate function. I know there are mu...

I got a LCD serial display backpack from Scott Edwards Electronics, and it seems to work. Now my only problem is addressing the last 2 lines. The code I am using is: (Provided by Don K) thanks Call LCD_DisplayStrAt((fmt(OutCurrent,3)), 3, 13)'Display c...

Hello all,

I got a bunch of parts from a friend and in it was an 2 LCD displays. The numbers on the back MTC-C204DPLY-1N.

I found the spec sheet for the unit.

Has anybody used this display before?

Seems a bit complicated to get it setup.

Thanks

Hey Tom,

You are correct I am not paying attention. Sorry for that.

Its just one of those days. It didn't even register that that is what he had done for me until I looked at it again.

Thanks

Ok call me stupid, but I'll be damed if I can figure out how to convert the the tick numbers generated by Register.RTCTick into something usable. I know that 512 ticks is a second and that 30720 is a minute, but getting it into something usable is something else. So if I have something like tick = R...

The only problem is I am using 12 Volts to control my devices not 5 Volts
