Thank you

[Chiringo]

First of all say it's my first time trying to record a pic
First of all I found that my K150 programmer did not accept pic 16f1824
Today I received the pickit 3, but the download file for the pickini 4.0 software is not a folder with a HEX file
Can someone explain to me what I should do to save the pic?
I am completely lost
Thank you

Right click - save link as Pickini4.0.hex:

This is not a folder, this is The File.

Not sure of your question, but to save the hex file click the link, select all and save as text file, then re name as .hex and burn, dont know what a K150 is, I use a real pickit.

I am very grateful to you both I have already recorded the pic now I just need to finish something and try
I will keep you informed From the beginning I knew that
I was facing a project for which I did not have a minimum of the necessary knowledge
Thanks again

Dear 6666
The K150 is a very cheap Chinese programmer, which you have to look for the software on the net (it is easily found)
I acquired it to record a pic12f675 and make a Malysh fm pinpointer
By the way ....... be careful with this pic, the oscal is easily erased and leaves the pic unusable (5 in my case)
It must have been because of my complete ignorance in recording pics

I have already assembled the pickini 4 gives the start tone, also the idle tones but at 25-30 seconds it gives three short beeps and the low but continuous battery sound
Any idea of the problem?
Thank you

[F117]

This is the Coil error sound. The microcontoller does not see the analo
g flyback pulse at the output of the opamp.
There is something wrong with the mosfet drive circuit / Coil / analog frontend.

[Chiringo]

Solved the problem
Bad coil connection Now it's working
thanks Bernard

Hello friends.
Today is a beautiful day.
Idx Pro and Pickini Got Good Results.
Thank you very much to those who contributed to the projects.

best regards

[useus]

is anyone able to convert the project to pic18f4520?
thank you

[Chiringo]

Hi all
I have sensitivity problems with lm318, I have tried several from different sources and it only detects a maximum of 5cm from the coil
If I put tl071 the sensitivity is acceptable but unstable
The best behavior I get with an old Motorola lf356
Someone who can clarify something for me about this?
Thank you and happy holidays

Can you check the DC values on the opamp pins compared to the values here:
