Ok, so I went out and bought a vallman pic programmer kit. It programs PIC's and has a few switches and led's so i cant test out my programs. This is great, but as soon as I pull the pic out and put it in a breadboard, i don't know what to do next. I know where to hook up the power and what voltage (I think) but I dont know how to hook up the switches and led's because I can't seem to get things to work. The next step after that, is I want to know how to detect different voltages in my input pins. I was hoping on making a little robot the would follow a little infrared led emitter. I figured I would put 2 recievers on my robot, and whichever indicated it saw the most infrared light, the robot would turn in that direction. Anyways, for the last few weeks I've been looking around for info, but alot of it is too far over my head, or just to simple for what I want to do. Any help to get me started so I can continue experimenting and learing would be greatly appreciated, Thanks, Mike -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/-PIC-+16f627-8+beginner-t1714888.html#a4656821 Sent from the MicroControllers - PIC forum at Nabble.com. -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
