Luckygurl:
Hope this can work on a PIC16F877 MC. The circuit connection is a bit complex compared to the ones I've done previously. I'd try it out though

The source code is for pic16f84. You can modify the code to work with any other pic microcontroller if u can learn assembly language

Boom!!! I am glad I made the right choice.
Long live NL...Long live EEE...Long live Acorntree!

@Acorntree, I'd like to get a programmer circuit that works perfectly fine. Could you please assist me? You're such a geek!

I delved into programming after all attempts to get a working PIC programmer proved abortive. I still have that skill & creativity running through my veins. Kindly help. Thanks.

I wasn't able to download those application I mean the Proteus, PCB wizard and pi basic controller

I too....it was bringing out error message on nearing completion.

@emahnwell. This is a working pic programmer .programmer software is icprog or winpic. It can burn into almost all pic micro. But require serial port of laptop or desktop.

Go to 4shared.com and search for these software. You can use ucbrowser to download if ure using android

nice one. i am curious, maybe i missed it somewhere on this thread, but where/how are you buying the electronic parts for your project. Online, surplus store or what?

You can buy all your components here and we will send it to you within 48hrs : http://www.jutronix.com/shop/

Can you upload a picture of a PCB these guys have made? I have seen several locally made PCBs but they just don't look professional enough for what I can use and like I said, I am using electronics commercially for my job so I can't afford to use substandard products. Will appreciate a picture.

We can design and fabricate professional PCBs for you such as the one below:

Nice thread....but how many language are you using? Am seeing flowcode, picbasic and assembly. Is it not better to use one programming language here to avoid confusing the learners.

acorntree:

Copper pour is not yet continuous. I will use jumper to connect to ground(-) when soldering

sori 4 digressing, please What is the name of the machine or equipment used in factories to tighten screws on newly made electronics that makes it very tight yet neat ?

been following this thread for a while. would love to try my hand on designing and electronics but don't don't have the baseline knowledge and the time to study it. then i came across the video below. considering ordering for the cloudbit pack

Hmmm... What's your lead time for delivery? Have used other prospects and they don't deliver on time because in the end, such professional boards are actually made from abroad (mostly China) and they may not have control over deliver time. Also, what is your minimum acceptable order?

BTW, Nice website!

We deliver within 2-3 weeks. Minimum acceptable order is 5 pcbs but if the quantity is high the cost will be lower. Just try us you won't regret it.

what type of soft copy of pcb do you accept?
what determines the cost? size?
thanks.

We accept Altium gerber files. The cost depends on the size and quantity. The higher the quantity the lower the prize.

i love this!

I need help with a good etching solution, the one i have peel of my circuit tracks and eventually all the copper tracks on the board. is there any other etching solution or any available method that i can employ so I can successfully etch my PCB board.

you mean like this...

for the above pcb, I used ferric chloride.

please give examples. e.g 5 by 11 inches single sided.
give prices of 10 pieces and 50 pieces. thanks

Double sided-PCB

Board size = 46mm x 81mm

5 pieces = N14250 @ N2850 for one
10 pieces = N15390 @ N1540 for one
20 pieces = N17670 @ N890 for one
50 pieces = N25270 @ N500 for one
100 pieces = N35910 @ N360 for one

The choice is yours.

Note: The above calculation is based on my ready built PIC programmer which its size is 46mm x 81mm. The factors used in calculation are the board's size, weight and dollar to naira rate

israelpalatoe:

you mean like this...

yeah, exactly. How can I get that? the one I use peel off all the copper layer, removes the black protective polymer layer and peel of the circuit tracks as well leaving nothing on the board.

you can get ferric chloride in oshodi. usually in a container like this

Pls can u give me the contact of the person where I can get this from in oshodi?

ask for i.k(pastor) at shop a7 oshodi.you can also get from mr thunder shop f29.

I will go with the last 2 price. Can u consider those who just want to build a prototype of there own design. Those that need only 1 piece.

Prototyping is better done with vero board or local etching because the cost of one board for standard PCB may not be less than the cost of 3 boards.
