JustInTime Project Pages

You'll find some descriptions of AVR SX and PIC projects on these pages. And other stuf.

Projects

Here are some finished, or work in progress activities:

Notes

Some links to notes, images from the manual, etc:

Programming

For newer PICs, the picprog programmer needs to be Modified. SX chips should best be programmed with the SX-Key or the SX-Blitz.

Although almost each project could be done with an SX as well as a specific PIC chip, the approach and philosophy between both is quite different. Look at the differences between the SX and the PIC we found (on the internet) and discovered (ourselves) between the two competitors.

A very useful utility for programming timing loops is PicLoops. It works for SX as well as PIC.

And how can you program a SOT23 package (i.e. the 10Fxxx series)? With a SOT23-to-DIL adapter.

Atmel has released a 4K version of the well-known Attiny2313, called the Attiny4313. It is fully (pin) compatible, with the only difference that it has double memory. The Attiny4313 is not yet recognized by Avrdude, so we have modified the Avrdude config file to be able to program it. This link contains the Attiny4313 section that should be added to your config.

Tutorial

As there are many, many tutorials about PICs on the internet, and the SX is very well documented by Parallax, we won't be serving another one here.

ToDo List

Here are some projects that need to be finished:

  • Midi Chord generator
  • 'Very Limited Space' Midi Sustain Pedal v2
  • FireDept. Siren for the Firetruck of JustIn
  • Traffic Light Toy
  • Digital Analogue Clock with Traffic Light alarm
  • Solarpower Chicken Lighting System
  • PIC-based MidiFilePlayer
  • Drumcomputer
  • DCC Train control system
  • Frequency Counter
  • simple GPS logger based on rs232 receiver
  • sunrise alarm clock
