ordered, for me too
cheers, lamoiz

Hello George, before I order, did you use PIC18F4520-I/P or 4520-E/P, or does it not matter , thanks.

The BOM from the book says : PIC18F4520

Hello George, before I order, did you use PIC18F4520-I/P or 4520-E/P, or does it not matter , thanks.

This is shown in the datasheet under Product Identification System.
I and E refer to the temperature range of the device:
I = -40 DegC to +85 DegC (Industrial)
E = -40 DegC to +125 DegC (Extended)
P = PDIP (package type)

I used the I/P version, but either will be ok.

Mine its on the way.
it will take some time coming from US. i can,t wait.
Thank 's George

Thanks at $10.00 a chip I just require the correct one ,

I used the I/P version, but either will be ok.

Thanks

Even if you order the book directly from amazon.com.au it stills ships from the U.S.A.?
Does Amazon Australia not have the ability to print-on-demand?

I am having this, would it be compatible?

That board contains an 18F45K22. You could either replace the PIC with an 18F4520, or recompile the source code.
Note that Voodoo uses a 20MHz crystal, whereas the "Ready for PIC" board is wired for 8MHz.
Also, you would not be able to fit the rest of the circuitry into the proto area.

ordered the book too, i hope the design works and not like some pi designs from ITMD Book

If you're referring to PI-5, then did you see this? -> PI-5 Working Version

No, i was thinking only to use this for flashing the hex code into mcu.
Later on to take out mcu from it and put in on detector pcb.
I was hoping that 18F45K22 and 18F4520 are compatible.
MikroE is domestic company. But is hard to get anything free from them, except the mikroBootloader.
I just try it, to remind myself, since i haven't been using this for long time.
With mikroBootloader seems that i can flash any hex into chip.
I am looking over the net for some free compiler to experiment further with this board and see what else i can do with it.
So you think that 18F45K22 and 18F4520 are not fully compatible?

ok, very glad to see it before winter starts, so i can put my cold hands to the soldering iron next months

George read this:

Tell me if you can apply these changes into your setup and compile the same code for 18F45K22, since seems those are practically the same chips.
That's how you will also provide more options and wider choice of mcu, for your project.
