Hello everybody ,
························· I am new in Parallax.i am from bangladesh .

while i am searching for Sensors, I found this site and bought 5 pcs of sensor . I have only 1 month left to complete my project . I want to know How can i use ping sensors in PIC 16f84a .

Because PULSEOUT and PULSE in is used in Basicstamp. Its really easy to connect .
But , please tell me if anyone have a idea how to use it in PIC and what will be the coding to measure the distance of the object .

Please Help me .

    Mithun,

    ·· We do not support the PIC here, these forums are for Parallax Products only.· You will need to visit a PIC Forum for the information you require.· We have documentation on the PING Sensor on it's web page.

    Parallax has limited resources to support their products when interfaced with non-Parallax products. To attack your problem google "ultrasonic pic." Also review available documentation for "SRF04" and "Maxbotix."

    I hope you aren't brand new to Pic's. Otherwise, you are on a tight time schedule because you need a programmer, programming software, and time for fairly heavy learning curve. If I were in your situation I'd prefer to use a Stamp rather than an old 16F84a.

    Well, you have to create your own 'Pulse IN' and 'Pulse OUT' on the PIC.

    If you want free software, you have to learn their Assembly language.
    If you want to buy Basic Software for the PIC, you will find it cheaper to just buy a BasicStamp and use Paralax's free software.
    {I think the PIC Basic software cost about $100USD or more. The BasicStamps start at less the $50 - see the OEM BasicStamp2.}

    So, it is really a question of time or money. Either way, the PIC is going to require more of one of them.
