hiddemo.exe and OScope.exe

this file is compatible with the example ex_usb_hid.c which is mentioned in ccs:
CCS DELPHI HOST DEMO

USB test with pic18f4550




just program .hex file to the chip the code was written in mcc18 :
Generic HID pic side
Generic HID pc side

USB

Lcd Hello World pic18f4550



here is ccs code :

#include <18f4550.h>
#fuses HS,NOWDT,NOPROTECT,NOLVP
#use delay(clock=4000000)
#include

void main() {
lcd_init();
lcd_putc("Hello!");
}

LCD pins D0-D3 are not used and PIC D3 is not used.

D0 enable
D1 rs
D2 rw
D4 D4
D5 D5
D6 D6
D7 D7

strange errors in ProgICD2

I prefer using mplab programmer itself but inorder to program pic 16f84 there is no other choice.

LED Blink pic18f4550

here is the code written in ccs :

#include <18f4550.h>
#fuses HS,NOWDT,NOPROTECT,NOLVP
#use delay(clock=4000000)

void main() {

while (TRUE) {
output_high(PIN_D1);
delay_ms(500);
output_low(PIN_D1);
delay_ms(500);
}
}

remeber to select PCH 16 bit to compile

pin1 ---> vcc
pin11 ---> vcc
pin12 ---> gnd
pin13 & pin14 ---> crystal + 20pf capacitor
pin20 ---> led+resistor(470 ohm)
pin31 ---> gnd
pin32 ---> vcc

here is the mikroC code:

// LCD module connections

sbit LCD_EN at RB5_bit;
sbit LCD_D4 at RB0_bit;
sbit LCD_D5 at RB1_bit;
sbit LCD_D6 at RB2_bit;
sbit LCD_D7 at RB3_bit;

sbit LCD_RS_Direction at TRISB4_bit;

sbit LCD_D4_Direction at TRISB0_bit;
sbit LCD_D5_Direction at TRISB1_bit;
sbit LCD_D6_Direction at TRISB2_bit;
sbit LCD_D7_Direction at TRISB3_bit;
// End LCD module connections

char *text = "Hello World"; //Constant holding text to be displayed

void main() //Main program
{
TRISB = 0; // PORTB is output
Lcd_Init(); // Initialize LCD connected to PORTB
Lcd_Cmd(_Lcd_CLEAR); // Clear data on lcd
Lcd_Cmd(_LCD_CURSOR_OFF); // Turn cursor off
while(1) //while loop, not necessarily needed
{
PORTA = ~PORTA;
Lcd_Out(1, 1, text); // Print text to LCD, 2nd row, 1st column
}
}
