First attempt at printing to an LCD display from a dsPIC30F4011
The following example is my first attempt at printing to an LCD display using the dsPIC30F4011 microcontroller. The display I’m using is a 16×1 character screen with what I think is a standard Hitachi interface. It’s my first time using … Continue reading
Simple interrupt-driven sampling example for the dsPIC30F4011
Reader Swetha wrote in with a query about performing 10Hz sampling on a dsPIC30F4011 in some kind of energy monitoring system. The following example illustrates a basic structure for interrupt-driven sampling using Timer 1. I compiled this program with Microchip’s … Continue reading
Nasty 4-channel logic analyser using dsPIC30F4011
This post is about a quick and dirty 4-channel logic analyser that I hacked together to get a snapshot of four parallel binary signals from something I was building. I just want to quickly capture this information here for the … Continue reading

Using pk2cmd to transfer a hex file onto the dsPIC30F4011
Since upgrading to MPLAB X, I’ve had difficulty using the PICkit2 from within the IDE, so I’ve mainly been using the PICkit2 helper application to transfer my compiled hex files to the dsPIC. However, there is another handy way of … Continue reading
