Thread: Calling Ricky327!!

Check the PIC chip number you have on your ITPS first, its either 12C508 or 12F629.


The source code is actually on thier website. All the delays are listed as "DEFINE"

You can just change these values to whatever you want. Reassemble it using the free softwares from microchip.

Then just burn it


Ill give you all the link soon.

Heres the software you need :

I believe the original code cant handle delay in minutes, so additional programming will be needed.

How hard would it be to write the program to do those 2 definitions in minutes? I totally don't know anything about the actual writing of the code, just how to program the actual chip. Can you kinda walk me through writing those 2 in minutes? Thanks!

Here are all the delays as found on the source code :

ONDELAY equ .15 ;power on delay 3 seconds
ONDELAY2 equ .5 ;wait 1 second until push button
BUTTON equ .2 ;push button for 400 ms
OFFDELAY equ .25 ;shut down 5 s after ignition off
HARDOFF equ .225 ;hard off after 45 seconds

Ok the .225 on the "HARDOFF" means 45 sec delays. The ITPS was programmed so that each decimal value is 0.2 second delays. ".225" doesnt mean 0.225, it actualy mean 225 the point just means its a decimal value.

The maximum delay is 256 x 0.2 = 51.2 seconds. As I said modification to the code is needed if you want delays in minutes.

So how would you write the code so that you can have it shut down in minutes? I am kinda in the dark here. Let me kwow. Thanks!

To be honest, I cant just tell you without studying the code carefully.

The one I modified before, it wasnt even based on the original code. I completely rewrote it as I found it easier than to study someone else code.

Ill let you know as soon a I have something for you.


But why such a long HARDOFF delay of 2 mins? The HARDOFF delay kick in after the shutdown signal is sent to the motherboard.

The reason is in case I wanted to go into a store for a few minutes I would want the offdelay to be like 10 minutes and then the hardoff to be like 12 or so. That's mainly why. BTW, what is the best way to get a hold of you?

Ricky did you ever figure it out? I haven't heard from you in a while!

Bear with me, Ill be re-coding it for PIC12F629
