pheforusty: Hmmm..I had 2 read dis thread 4rm page 1-7 n I must say y'all r doing a gewd job..well I'm currently in ma 300lvl n studying electrical/electronics engineering..recently I started 2 teach maself Visual basic all tenx 2 FG/ASUU(haven't gone far tho) n attended a tutorial where I got familiar wiv Proteus(recently)...ma ? Is thus ''is dere any link wiv VB as a language n micro-controllers''(I hope I asked d ? rightly)..pls I'll nid ur help..wud appreciate if any 1 can put me in d rite dirxn..I dnt wanna b an engineer of theory n no practicals..TNX..GOD BLESS!!

hopefullman:
since u are an elect/elect stdnt, if u realy want to learn microcontroller programming you have to start learning either C or assembly language.visual basic is not much related to microcontroller.VB is usually used when micros is to be interfaced to the PC such as in usart communication.VB is sometimes used to write the lang to on how the pc wil communicate with the micro.Visual basic is not used to program microcontroller.proteus is used to simulate electronics circuits and micros.you can write your code in asm or c with an ide or txt editor eg notepad,assemble or compile it with mplab or microC and simulate ur code with proteus.if it works on proteus,it is much likely it will work in real life.i wil leave you here in the hands of my oga at the top.

pheforusty: ...tenx 4 d info man..wat abt C++ n C#.

cogitoErgo: In addition to what Oga hopefullman said, I think, if u are really interestd in microcontrollers, you suld forget other languages and concentrate on C, fo now! besides u suld study the C with a specific compiler, as the microcontroler C-compilers hav varying syntax. Again understandng of assembly will be a huge advantage as t my opinion, this is the fundamental language of microcontrollers.
If u can just keep the pace with microcontrolers, I promise u, by d time u go for ur IT, u will b makng useful gadgets fo sale.

princejude:

We don't have ready made but we can build one for you. We designed one as a student project for one of our client recently.

hopefullman:
pls i'm still waiting for ur reply on the flc meter.thank you.

princejude:

Sorry for late reply, I was busy. One will cost around N50k but if you need more than one the price may come down to N40k

hopefullman:
sorry i cant afford it for now.i dont know it's that expensive.which number will i text my details to when i pay for a particular good? Should i have to call before i pay for the goods?i want to buy the pickit3.You only gave the account number i will pay to.thanks

Ugokings4luv: K

princejude:

Is ugokings4luv same as hopefullman ?

princejude: sku and DK08 means ?

hopefullman:
i think it's the model number.i saw it on microscale website.i think it's used to differentiate the various pic devt board

princejude:

Ok. we have two types of PIC dev. boards: One with built-in USB-based ISP programmer(N15k) and one without programmer(N10k).

Since you are buying the Pickit3,then you will buy the one without programmer.

hopefullman:
Pickit3
pic devt board:sku;DK08
Db25 male connector
74hc14, 74ls05, sn7407,74ls244, 74hct573.
db9 female connector
dc socket

princejude:

PICkit3 = N7,000
PIC dev. board = N10,000 ***
Db25 male = N100
74HCT573 = N150
74LS245 = N100 (we don't have 74LS244 now)
74HC14, 74LS05, SN7407 = N150 each ***
Db9 female = N100
DC Socket = N50

Shipment N2000

Total = N19,950

hopefullman: On the website the db9 and db25 are #50 each

hopefullman:
Pickit3= 1
74hc14=2
7407=2
74ls245=1
74hct573=1
74ls05=1
db25 male =2
db9 female= 1
dc socket= 2

PICKIT3 = N7000
74HC14 (x2) = N150 x 2 = N300
7407 (x2) = N150 x 2 = N300
74LS245 = N100
74HCT573 = N150
DB25 MALE (x2) = N100 X 2 = N200
DB9 FEMALE = N100
DC SOCKET = N50

SHIPMENT = N2000 

TOTAL = N10,200

hopefullman: Do you have a kind of drill to drill pcb?a kind of smal dc motor to be modded into a drill.how will i receive my package after payment?

hopefullman: Hope i wil get my package 2morrow

Kenbubble: plz is their any circuit i can use to make my soldering heat faster...220v 60w soldering iron but nepa use to give us 100v @princejude and any body who will help.
