Programming a PIC 16F886 on a FR28 I/O board

AI Thread Summary
To program the PIC on the FR28 I/O board, users need to establish a communication link with the board, which requires connecting it to a computer via an RS232 cable. Once powered with 12V, the board can be programmed using MPLAB or C. For communication, terminal emulation software is recommended: Minicom or Kermit for Linux users, and HyperTerminal or similar for Windows users. It's also suggested to contact the seller for the PIC firmware, which may not have been included with the purchase. Additionally, resources for PC software compatible with the board can be found online.

I need help in programming a pic on a FR28 I/O board that i bought off of ebay. no software came with it, only pdf's. Essentially i want to hook up sensors (Thermocouple, ph, photon) and have the pic store the data (using flash mem). the data stored will later be uploaded to a computer.

the board needs 12v and can be hooked up to a cpu with RS232 cable. i have hooked it up and supplied the power, but i don't have an idea how to communicate with the board. I know i can use mplab or c to program the pic, but how do i get the computer to read the hardware.

i have uploaded info about the board.

any advise, tips or help will be appreciated

thx

You have to set up a link over hardware to talk to the pic so that you can flash it. If you're using linux, minicomm/kermit
On windows, hyperterminal (or some free terminal emulation software).

Hi,
ask the seller for the PIC firmware. It should arrive with the board or send by e-mail. A PC sofware could be found in http://cgi.ebay.ca/FR88-RS232-Relay-Board-8-In%2F8-Out-Robot-VB-LabVIEW_W0QQitemZ110469872841QQcmdZViewItemQQimsxZ20091214?IMSfp=TL091214215001r675

Thread 'Is this public key encryption?'

Thread 'Is this public key encryption?'

I've tried to intuit public key encryption but never quite managed. But this seems to wrap it up in a bow. This seems to be a very elegant way of transmitting a message publicly that only the sender and receiver can decipher. Is this how PKE works? No, it cant be. In the above case, the requester knows the target's "secret" key - because they have his ID, and therefore knows his birthdate.

Thread 'Who is responsible for the software when AI takes over programming?'

I tried a web search "the loss of programming ", and found an article saying that all aspects of writing, developing, and testing software programs will one day all be handled through artificial intelligence. One must wonder then, who is responsible. WHO is responsible for any problems, bugs, deficiencies, or whatever malfunctions which the programs make their users endure? Things may work wrong however the "wrong" happens. AI needs to fix the problems for the users. Any way to...
