Watch the dog watch the watchdog

31 mars 2015

What’s wrong with this picture?

watch-dog

Here, we have a classic example of a PIC being reset by its watchdog timer.

The PIC used in the simulation – 16F866 – has a default watchdog countdown timer of about 2.3 seconds.

So, the count from 0 to 9 is interrupted before the end of the sequence and the program is restarted.

In the following article, we will see how to configure and use a watchdog on a PIC micro-controller.

Proteus USART simulation on a PIC 18F4550

Using Proteus, this project demonstrates how to use the 18F4550 USART to receive and transmit characters and display them on a LCD.

A new DL380 G7 in the data center

8 février 2015

dl380_g7

6 months ago, I have added to my data center a new HP DL380 G7 server.

A superb machine with 2x 6 cores CPU which gives 24 virtual cores, 32GB of DDR3 RAM and 6x SAS 10k 300gb disk .

Soon, I will move the Asterisk and pfSense vmware machines to this server, in addition to some experimental virtual machines : Windows 10, centos and OpenStack.

PIC 18F – Exemple pour afficher sur LCD avec plib/xlcd.h

2 août 2014

Sample code that displays on a LCD using the xlcd XC8 library

Note: The internal clock is used with the default clock rate of 1 MHz.
