Title: I need help with making a simple program
Post by: galannthegreat on January 27, 2009, 10:28:21 PM

I am new to working with microcontrollers and I am wondering if someone can help me out with shoing me how to make a general object avoidance program. ???

-I am using a PIC 16F877a
-My sensory system (idea pending to have a posibility to be switched from IR detection to one of the Sharp sensor modules, let me know if this i a good idea) is connected to PORT D, Bits 0 and 1 (RD0, RD1)
-My motor driver is connected to PORT D, Bits 4, 5, 6, and 7(RD4, RD5, RD6, RD7)
-Everything is pulled low
-I am using a 20MHz crystal with two 22pF caps

All I am is asking is if someone can help me with making this program, not necessarily making it for me but showing me how i can get started with it.
Thanks

You forgot to search before asking ;)
