1Placing the components of the SC/MP in a PIC
- First solder all the resistors, the value is printed on the PCB.
- Solder the 100 nF capacitors and the two 20 pF capacitors.
- Solder the 20 MHz crystal.
- Solder the Tantalium Capacitor and the reset switch.
- Solder all IC sockets. Be aware of the pin 1 positions.
- Solder the USB-C FTDI. The LEDS (Watch the polarity!).
- At last solder the two digitasten, the two I/O female headers and the 470 uF elco.
Before you solder the USB-C FTDI mount the spacer first.
Before placing any of the IC's power the FTDI from your PC, The green LED will light saying that you have power. Disconnect the USB-C cable,
The PIC16F877 has to be programmed with the hex file first. Insert all ic's into their socket.
Check if all is inserted properly and connect the USB-C cable. The RX led will light up for a short time.
Open a serial terminal program. Select the FTDI device and set the baudrate to 2400 8 bits en 1 stop bits (8N1). Press the reset button and a '>' appears on your screen. NIBL is waiting for a command to enter. Type PRINT "Hello" <enter> and if all went well on the next line appears Hello.
Congratulations, You have a working SC/MP system running!
