Hi Ettore,

Thank you for the quick reply.
The DCLOCK solution worked perfectly.
I will try to remember this for future reference.

Hi All, I am working on a project which will use TMR1 of PIC16F1615 in counter mode to count the number of pulses received in one second. TMR3 is set up as the one second time base. Ultimately, this circuit will be used to count the pulses derived from an encoder mounted on a motor shaft but for now...

Hi All, I have been doing some more simulation testing with the APA102 and find there are still issues with the APA102 model. Attached is a simple circuit, with code, to flash a strip of LEDs on and off (blue) every second. When using the APA102CX8 module (U12), everything works fine but this is not...

Hi All, I have had Proteus for some time now but this is the first time I have tried to use the PCB design capabilities. My design calls for a 7805 voltage regulator (TO-220) to be placed horizontally but I can only find a PCB package for vertical mounting. How can I place it horizontally? For this ...

Hi Ettore, The new APA102C model appears to have solved the 5-bit global power issue however I am now having another strange problem that I would like you to investigate. I modified my previous project to include 30 x single APA102C devices expecting these 30 individual LEDs to perform in the same m...

Thanks Ettore.

Is there any chance you can PM the corrected model to me so that I can continue my design efforts until the next service pack is released?

Cheers
Barry

Thanks you Ettore.
Do you have any idea when the next service pack will be released?

Hi All, Living in Covid lockdown has given some extra time to play with a few projects I have been pondering for some time. I have compiled a program in Microchip XC8 for the PIC16F1825 to drive a string of APA102C LEDs via SPI - project attached. The program is quite simple: toggle an array of 30 x...

Thanks Remy.
But now I feel really foolish for having to ask

Cheers

There are three models of the APA102C LED with SPI interface, single, 8-row and 30-row.
None show which pin is the Data and which is the Clock.
Is there a simple way to determine which is which?

Hi All, I am experiencing some anomalies in the TFT screen output between simulation and real hardware. The project uses a PIC18F26K22, an ILI9341 TFT screen (SPI mode) and C code compiled in XC8 - the full project file is attached. The real hardware shows the required text in the correct orientatio...

Project Update:

The proposed changes certainly fixed the problem.
Now to resolve more issues with actual hardware...

Cheers

Hi Ettore,

Thank you for your prompt and detailed response.
I will implement your proposed workarounds and let you know how it goes in both simulation and real hardware.

Hi All, I am a relative newbie to Proteus and C programming and I am experimenting with Interrupt on Change (IOC) on a PIC16F1829. I am compiling with XC8 and using MCC. Attached is my project file IOC_Test_1829.pdsprj The program is quite simple - two switches and three LEDs: BTN1 is configured as ...

Hi Ettore,

Thank you for your words of advice and yes, I did purchase the "Advanced Simulation Option".
I have SO MUCH to learn about using this program but it is good to know there is great support available via this forum for the times that I get lost.

Cheers
